[Sportsandrec] Competition Corner Questions

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

Hi Jennifer and others,

When I edit and publish Competition Corner, I do it with JAWS. JAWS should 
read the html document without any problems. I made the decision to publish 
the newsletter as a html file because it is basically a webpage. It meant 
less work in the future when we get the newsletter online. Plus, with screen 
readers like JAWS and Window-Eyes, you have the power to skip around heading 
by heading, link by link, and etc.

Make sure that when you download the file, you download it as a html 
document. In other words, make sure that the edit box between the name of 
the file and the save button tells you what type of file extension the file 
is being saved as.

Do you recieve your S&R emails in digest form? Someone told me that when 
they receive emails in digest form, they do not get the attachments. I don't 
know why that is the case.

Hopefully, the next Competition Corner will be a click away. We're hoping to 
get a website for the division up before the next newsletter.

I'm attaching the newsletter again. But perhaps, someone who knows more 
about the ins-and-outs of screen readers and accessibility can give a few 
pointers. I'm just a weird person who really likes html coding, and is 
trying to learn everything about it in order to make web pages and web 
files. But, really, I don't understand some of the lingo. That's when I go 
to my husband for interpretation--he's the computer engineerer in the 
family--not me.
