Hi, everyone.
I’m Thea, I just joined the list, and I write all kinds of stuff: fiction, nonfiction, and fan fiction. I guess that about covers it, eh?
I used to publish articles and short stories on www.triond.com but they require an image with each submission.
I had sighted help for a while, but once the sighted help disappeared, I found I could not use this site because of its image requirement.
It’s not a Captcha I have to fill in. This site requires, along with the article, your selection of a category, which you can choose from a combo box: health, news, politics, women ... Then after the body of your article, you add tags. Let’s say you’ve chosen “women”. Your tags could be birth control, birth control devices, IUD, etc.
Then there’s a question mark where a chosen image should go. You hit the “get image suggestions” button, and images are supposed to present themselves.
At this time, you have to be able to see the image and drag it to the question mark.
Last but not least, you have to check the box that says you are the original creator of this work, and click submit.
Piece o’ cake ... if you can see.
Has anyone ever tried or found some way around this difficulty?
The site is www.triond.com
My emails to them about this barrier have netted me no response.
The site is free, and supposedly, you can create a following, if you’re prolific enough, and you can earn money, be it ever so small.
I don’t mind that. I DO mind this inaccessibility, and the company’s apparent lack of interest.
Anyone ever tried this www.triond.com
While I had sighted help, I published articles and stories, so I have a small portfolio if you like.
Now the sighted help is gone, and I’m stuck.
Any help appreciated,
Thea
