[stylist] introducing myself, and blogging with JAWS

[Lynda Lambert]

Yes, like Bridgit, I do my blog writing in MS Word. I even do the photos in 
the text with word rather than doing them after the piece is copied and 
pasted into the blog.  By doing it this way, I get it exactly as I want it 
BEFORE It is put into the blog page. It works perfectly well.
For interest, you really do need visuals in your blog posts if you want a 
wide audience.  Bridgit has a great idea to get a sighted person to help out 
with that - it makes the site more appealing to most readers. You can look 
at my blog for an example of what I do with MS Word - and I do my blog 
through Google's Blogger as it is so easy even I can do it;  I am not very 
technologically skilled, for sure.
