Hello Allyn Absolutely no problem; we just thought we'd mention it. We host for ourselves so obviously aren't looking for external providers.
But again, for anybody interested, we offer free hosting for the visually impaired, if you want a domain we do that at cost price. If you want to know more Allyn about our email groups, could you contact us off list? <[email protected]> Lynne Lynne On 31 Dec 2011, at 00:03, Allyn Stansfield wrote: Hi Lynne, Thank you for the offer of Hosting, but I have a Business Account with HostGator and I also have a reseller with NamezCheap.com which is my own website. It offer's offers domain names, hosting, ssl certs, marketing tools, design services, etc. I don't mind disclosing to you that it's a GoDaddy resller website, but I charge the minimum possible prices in the entire industry, guaranteed, feel free to compare with eNom, NameCheap, Reg-123 and even GoDaddy themselves. I'm not trying to advertise myself, but if I can save people money, then it's win win and I'm planning on adding a back-end to this website with a lot of free resources soon too. The reason I've mentioned it is because I appreciate your kind offer of the hosting, and I would actually like to know more about your offer of an email group and in return I would be more than pleased to offer you Wholesale price account, for any future domain names, etc, you were intending to purchase, or renew, although, for renewals, you would have to transfer the domains first and for first time purchases I can't decrease the pricing any further than stated on the website. As I say, I really appreciate your offer and I would like to know more about the email group offer. I'm wondering whether you mean a AutoResponder or whether you mean an email group like the Techno Chat list? Thanks. Regards. Allyn Stansfield.

We could also provide you with an email group should you wish it. You'd have full control over the group with as little or much help from us in the configuration of the list as you dictate. Please let us know off list if you're interested at all.

I'm really interested in Web Development, I know a lot of html and I know basic css and php, but not enough to build a site from scratch, unless it's just html or using a CMS. I don't really know anything about Accessible Web Development, despite being registered blind myself. However, I would like to know a few things, firstly has anybody got any advice or good resources about Web Accessibility and not just for the Visually Impaired, but for everybody? I have a project in mind which I think would be a brilliant idea, but it's vital that I have a fully accessible website, preferably WordPress, that is easy to edit, blog, have a back end forum and other communication facilities, including a private message facility, that are all fully accessible. This as you can imagine is a seriously hard task to meet, especially on a low budget. I have been offered the opportunity to purchase the theme of lflegal.com for $400 which is WACG 2.0 AAA compliant. However, it's the old style theme so it wouldn't work with Wordpress 3.x as the modifications would no longer work. I have also found a fairly accessible punBB forum for the back end, but it's not perfect. I really want a fully accessible, up-to-date, easy to edit, search engine friendly website. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Secondly, can any of you give any good advice or resources for undertaking Freelancing Projects? I don't want to know about eLance, Guru, Getafreelancer, Rentacoder, etc. I've already undertaken several projects in the past, I'm refering more to advice and resources about how to get more clients and win more projects, etc. Also, bare in mind that my previous experiences were when my vision was significantly better than it is now. Finally, I don't really find things like Dreamweaver that accessible when using High Contrast desktop themes, so any advice about this sort of thing would be much appreciated too. As I've said, I'm not new to this sort of thing at all, but I only have an overview of things, I'm not an exper and I'm not a programming genius. I have an AS Level in ICT, which was accomplished mainly by using the full range of programs that are included within the Microsoft Office Suite and researching, using the Internet. In addition to this, I am currently studying a Business and Law BA (Hons) degree, via distance learning, at the Open University, which is primarily done online. I have also undertaken frequent freelance Web Development projects, such as website, blog, forum, article, content and press release creation and submission, web hosting, email and webmail setup, search engine optimization and submission, directory submission, RSS feed submission and social media marketing services. In addition to this, I have an extensive knowledge of HTML and computer-based Content Management Systems and Blogging Platforms. I also have a basic knowledge of CSS, PHP and JavaScript. Furthermore, I am very experienced in system and server maintenance, repair and restorations, and I am also an extremely efficient and self-taught touch-typist. Seasons Greetings to you all. Thanks.

However, one project in which we both have an interest is our blogs. I'm interested to know, if anybody can tell me, how other vision impaired people handle themes for their blogs. WordPress doesn't seem to be particularly conducive towards accessibility in its themes so I just wondered what others changed to makes their blogs more accessible. Any info greatly appreciated.
