[nfbwatlk] An Unscientific Poll

Put it back I never got to hear it. And not having a skip to content link
is fine.

Hello, everyone.

First, thank you, Doug, for posting the convention section of the NFBW web
page; I suppose I should have done it but it's come out in dribs and drabs
and so I figured everyone had read it. But as a reminder and gathering of
salient convention information in one message, it's superb.

And, speaking of the web site, I hope everyone at least goes thru it once;
it's pretty-much the way I'm going to leave it for awhile. Yes, it's very
plain-Jane. However, it's accessible and, not being a crak HTML programmer
or style-sheet guru, it's what you're gonna get while I'm doing the web
maintenance. There is this: it isn't costing us anything. <grin> The URL,
BTW, is http://www.nfbw.org.

Speaking of the web site, I have a question: do you like the opening page
with or without the music? I rather like the music (especially as it's a
blue-grass version of "Glory Glory Federation") but got to thinking that not
everyone knows to hit the ESCAPE key to silence the music while using a
screen-reader. Should I put the music back or leave it off? I haven't looked
thru a lot of affiliate web sites but most don't have opening music.

Also, is everyone easy without a "Skip to Content" link at the beginning of
the main page? I'm allergic to that concept, believing that most people
who've been around more than a day or two know to look for headers and the
first Level 1 Header is at the convention info and one doesn't have to then
hit the back button *twice* on any page to get to the previous one.

If/when we ever publish the "Blind Liberator" newsletter, I anticipate it
will be on the web pages somewhere also. Now if I only had a feel for how
large an image was in pixels ...
