[stylist] Web sites and blogs

[Alyssa Frierson]

I have three blogs with dreamwidth.org. One is a personal journal of
sorts where I write about any number of things. The other two are more
subject specific. I started one about my brother and the way he sees
the world. The third one is about Diabetes.
I use Jaws. I haven't had any accessibility issues with Dreamwidth,
and it's free to sign up. An issue I could see coming up would be
setting up the over-all look of the page. There are different
templates to apply to the page. Setting up how posts are displayed and
organized is accessible, but the themes have names like "Apple
blossom" that aren't super descriptive. So, if design is important to
you, that may be an issue. I also had some trouble inserting photos
into a post the one time I tried to do it. Otherwise, I haven't had
any problems with this site for basic blogging.
