Hello Chris Respectfully, I think you're point is, whilst valid in respect of consistency, somewhat presumptuous. yes, I do see your points regarding websites, Facebook etc. However, the images have to be a specific size and conform quite strictly to standards. Yes, it may be possible for you, Gordon, Joh public number 1 or whoever to create the images. Not everybody is necessarily so adept at doing that without assistance. That, and only that, was my point. I've never said this was a bad thing; so please don't anybody interpret what I said in that context. I simply said it could, mark that word, "Could" cause problems for a number of blind people.
After all, Chris, images on websites and Facebook are not mandatory. So why must they be so on Podcast feeds? Gordon won't have a problem with this, but I don't just sit and think from that angle. I am concerned only for the masses. If, by raising this point I came over as inferring that blind people are incapable, I sincerely apologise for any offence.

We live in a sighted world, and I would imagine it must be quite boring looking at an empty space where a cover art picture should be. It is a bit crazy for websites to include images or photos don't you think? Of course not. I am sure most blind people will either just resize an image of themselves or their guide dog etc to insert into this space. Apple have not specified that the image must contain a logo or the wording of the title of the podcast etc. I am sure blind podcasters want to appeal to non blind users too, and it is no different to adding a picture to a book cover, album sleeve, Facebook or twitter profile etc. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
