[Nfb-krafters-korner] Update on my Website

[Lillie Pennington]

Hi Amanda,

I cannot speak from a visual standpoint but really like your site. I have
not used this but have you looked at having something like an Etsy store?
This may make purchasing of products from your site easier, but this is not
my area of expertise, but I know there was a discussion of taking payments a
couple months ago. 

I am curious to learn what you find out about themes, site layout, and
pictures. I am currently building a blog about my crafting experiences and
while I want to market it to the blind, I want it to be visually appealing
and professional looking. I am particularly curious about pictures. Can they
be taken from a phone? How much photo editing has to be done? Can a almost
totally blind person take and post pictures independently? Also, how in
general can you make a site more "visually appealing."

Thanks

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Update on my Website

Hello all,

I have received emails from several people on these lists who were
interested in visiting the website I mentioned in my intro message but it
was down for over a day because the host was having server issues.
It is now back up and I wanted to let you all know since there was a lot of
interest.

As I said it's still very new and a work in progress, but feel free to check
it out, send me feedback or topic suggestions, watch out for the posting of
my handmade needlepoint items, and stay tuned for updates to the site. I
have a few really great ideas in mind for it that have not yet been
implemented.

You can visit the site by going to

www.craftyfrugalmom.com

or follow me on Twitter at

Anyone who has experience with Wordpress driven sites, feel free to contact
me. I'm especially interested in discussing screen reader accessible themes
that are also pleasing to the sighted world. My current theme is ok, but not
all that visually appealing and I want to find a way to have the best of
both worlds. I do not want a site that screams blind. I want something with
character.

Well, gotta run now because I'm off to a day at a local amusement park with
my family, but I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
