Henry,

Hello, mate, smile. Welcome.

I've not done a personal blog, but for a couple of years, I was a
blogger for a local website. I wrote my blogs in a MS Word document,
edited it, then copied and pasted it on the website via WordPress. It
was fairly accessible at the time, though I didn't do much exploring
with it. I know several people here have a personal blog though, and I'm
sure they can help you and answer questions.

As for a visual presentation, you should have someone sighted assist you
with this. In particular, someone who has a knack for visual
presentation. Any graphics, pictures and even the actual lay-out of your
blog, you may want to run by someone sighted.

Welcome, again, and look forward to seeing more of you.

Bridgit

Hi all,
My name is Henry, and I'm a Braille and JAWS user from Australia. I was
googling for resources on blind writers, and this list was one of the
first hits that popped up. I've been writing a blog at:
http://www.macphillamysmusings.wordpress.com
I know absolutely nothing about editing html, and have been writing my
entries on my Braille Sense, or with Microsoft Word, and then copying
and pasting when I think they're publishable. I'm wondering if there are
any bloggers out there who use JAWS, and if so, how on earth do you do
it? which blogging sites are most accessible? and how do you deal with
the presentation side of things... bulleted lists, embedding links, etc
etc. any tips, advice and or other resources would be very much
appreciated. I would really like to make my entries more professional
looking, as well as embed links to other posts, articles and such. If
you want to contact me off list, my email is:
henry.macphillamy at gmail.com Cheers, Henry
