AFB's Jitterbug Review

Most of the ways people find this blog is through web searches. One of the most popular search terms that bring visitors here is "high contrast cell phones" that directs them to this post. Surprisingly, to me anyway, this is the first entry that Google lists for this search term. However, my post is mostly a gripe about the lack of accessible cell phones. The only phone that seems to fit my criteria (accessible to those with low but functional vision) is the Jitterbug. I do not have one, so I can not review it. However the AFB has a good review, with images, here: An Accessible Phone Comes Calling: A Review of the Jitterbug Cell Phone - AccessWorld® - March 2007. So take a look at let me know what you think.

Blog Accessibilty

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) has instructions on 'How to Make Your Blog Accessible to Blind Readers'. I have wondered how accessible this blog is. I can access it quite easily since I have tweaked IE to make almost any page readable. Bur I do not know how others see it. I looked through the AFB's tips and have followed those that I could understand, but I didn't write the template for this blog and I don't know enough html to adjust the template according to the tips. Hopefully,, I have done a reasonable job, but it would be nice to know how to check simply and easily how accessible one's blog is. Any ideas?
