Thanks Kim for letting me know.
Here is how you access the comments in the blog
    Let me use the first blog post as an example called: Control your computer using your voice
Open blog. Bring up your links with insert+F7    Hit the letters con and you will bypass any words and titles with just the start letter of c  and jump to the word control as in the title control your computer. Using the first 2 or 3 letters of a  word is the fastest way to jump through your links or anywhere for that matter.  The links bring up the sidebar choices first with all the titles on the blog, so hit con 2 times and you jump to the one that gives you the option of leaving a comment on the page you are on. With your links box open, down arrow to comment--it will have a number and that changes as people submit comments, then you will have the word comment. Hit enter to open the comment. The next page is a form box to fill in.  Depending on your jaws you will either automatically pop into it and you will hear that pop sound of jaws going into forms mode and when you type it starts typing OR jaws just starts talking the page and you have to
 tell him where to go. If you have to tell him where to go do a CTRL to stop him from talking, then do a CTRL+HOME to get to the top of your page and hit e to jump to the edit form box  and enter for forms mode on. You can start typing your message now. When you are done, you need to jump to a button, so go to your PC cursor..to do this, hit your + on the numpad of a desktop (make sure numpad is off), on a laptop hit your caps lock+; If you have difficulty with this, you can also TAB through to the button called Publish your comment and enter to publish it

However, with the PC command you jump out of forms mode and now you can use letters to jump around your page. Hit B for button and you will jump to the     Publish your comment, ENTER on this and you will instantly publish your comment to the blog  

If when you first get to the page and bring up your links, if you hit enter on the sidebar title , which will be the first title in your links, which you may want to as it only opens that title instead of the whole blog, you can do the exact same thing above to publish a comment.

Please let me know if you have any more difficulty--Also, the above commands work anywhere in the Internet--good commands to know to move around quickly

>Dear Dr. Robinson,
> 
>I very much appreciate you sharing your blog
with the PIBE-Division listserv. A question: Is there any way to make the comment
submission process on your blog less conplicated for those of us who are blind?
I have no difficulty deciphering the audio capcha alternative; however, locating
the spot at which to enter the numbers I hear, and then submitting the text I've
written, is next to impossible. I had several comments to your threads, but after
four attempts with the alternate capcha, I finally gave up.

>Are you one
handed and wish you could type faster? Are you missing your hands or arms? Are
your hands shaky and it is difficult to type? If you have any difficulty typing
at all, this may be a solution for you.

>Office 2003 does have a speech recognition built into it to use. You speak and
the computer types out what you are saying.
>
>However, Windows 7 has taken a leap in speech recognition abilities. By
speaking to your computer, you can get it to open any menu and go anywhere. You
can dictate letters, do your homework and print it off or go into the Internet
and email it. You can surf on the Internet and scroll through pages of
information. With a quick "Start Listening”, the computer listens to your
voice and commands. With a "Stop Listening”, the computer stops listening.
>
>If you are using talking software, you will need assistance in setting up the
program as nothing else can be talking while you are training the program. Once
the computer gets to know your voice, you can control it anyway you need. If
you want to dictate in Word, you will need to limit JAWS ability to talk until
you want him to, just a quick hit of the CTRL key is enough to control him. You
begin talking and a dialog box opens where you say all your sentences. Once you
finish dictating, you say "insert" and the text is inserted into the
document, you can make corrections as needed with F7 to spell check with Jaws.
