[nfbcs] Google Accessibility was RE: evaluation display of a web page

[Mike Freeman]

The problem is that "fixes" may not stick. Google is tinkering with its
stuff constantly. The phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is not in
their vocabulary.

April and all, if you are having problems with Google products, please let
them know. They may not be able to fix it right away, but they still want to
know and might be able to tell you some kind of work around.

Ten years or so ago, I learned HTMl and attempted to code accessible from
W3schools.  They do have Code check.  I don't think it's that good.  In the
last year I have lost most of my vision, and much of my hearing, so it's
even more important than ever!  And I always wanted to code accessible.
Though, knowing some varying issues, especially with vision, I'm not 100%
sure it is possible to code for every variation.  I may be wrong.

Hi *Susan Stanzel,  It would be wonderful if programs on both ends could fix
the issues to make websites more accessible.  And I agree.  I have tried to
learn NVDA, and well, learning keyboard workarounds is ten times harder than
HTML ever was!

Hi ***Mike Jolls - Since you evaluate websites for accessibility, can I ask
you a question?  For the last few years, my author website has been on a
Google site.  Are Google websites accessible?  I can change some of the
coding, though much of what I think would need to be adjusted is not
accessible to the page holders that I can find.

Thanks.  Still new to the world of mostly deaf and blind, and the screen
readers that confuse me when they don't just work when I open the page.*
