Hi Jackie, Wordpress4newbs.com is down. This site can't be reached in Chrome. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: Jackie McBride <abletec@gmail.com> Sent: 11 June 2018 16:08 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Wordpress accessibility Hello, Christian. WordPress core has committed to AA conformance w/WCAG 2.0 guidelines. The accessibility of plugins & themes, on the other hand, varies greatly. I think 1 of the easiest ways to create content is via a language called Markdown as opposed to using the WordPress toolbars (or any toolbars) for that matter. The syntax is easily learned. It can be enabled on your site via a plugin called Jetpack. You'll need to go to Jetpack settings, then debug, then modules & ensure the field for markdown is set to active. In Markdown, an url enclosed in angle brackets <http://www.wordpress4newbs.com> becomes a link, as does: [Adam P Markdown Cheatsheet](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Here-Cheatsheet) where you can find a quick primer. wordpress4newbs.com contains some materials on using WordPress w/a screenreader. The material is a bit outdated, ie, I no longer recommend ahz admin dropdown plugin for accessibility reasons, but much remains relevant. I wish you much good luck & success in your new WordPress adventures. On 6/11/18, Christian <christian08@runbox.com> wrote:
Hire that sounds great! So for example, if one wants to insert a link on the page, how does that work?

Yes, I found the process very accessible and easy to follow.
