Hi Atty, Jim, Robert and list

Thank you for your replys to my question.



I called Gotham and they could not tell me much about their web site.  I 
do know that the bluelining feature of their site is not readable with 
Window eyes.  I tried various approaches and used remaining vision and 
adaptive glasses with no success.  I know my ability to use my screen 
reader may figure in sometimes, but I also know there are limitations to 
screen readers.  I do not want to be kept from developing my writing 
because I can't find a site and program that works for me where I am at 
in my ability. There are some websites that are just not readable like 
parts of QVC.COM and HSN.COM (examples of general websites).  Also, 
pop-upboxes may not be read depending on how the website designer 
formats them.Writers.com seems very accessible, but I don't know and 
can't find a thing about them.  I called Writersdigest.com and they told 
me their format was not text based and would not work with screen 
readers.  I did not have a sample to review.  I hate to spend a bunch of 
money only to find something won't work.  Often I can read parts of a 
site but am not sure how I will read the actual class format .

thank you Atty for the two sites below.  I am having trouble navigating 
them.  On the Savvy authors site I click the link for contact or about 
and find nothing.  I am not sure how taking classes through either site 
will work and if I will be able to read everything.  Can you give me 
tips on how to navigate the actual class?

If anyone has any suggestions on how to use the two above sites or ideas 
for easy-to-use-with-a screen-reader sites for writing workshops, I 
would appreciate your suggestions.

thanks
Brenda
