Hi Dan
Let me answer all your questions after you ask them for clarity.
Where can I look to find basic explanations about how a person sets up a
live journal, and whether or not they must, or should get extra software for
managing it
http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq.bml
That's gonna answer all your questions all in one place. it's *extremely*
comprehensive.
(is this software put out *by* Live Journal, or is it third
party stuff?)
There is a bit of development of Livejournal, Henceforth we'll call it LJ
because everyone on live journal calls it that, but some of the lj
developers have created clients. and there has also been developments of
clients from LJ users who really like the site and want to make it easier
to access.
So the short answer is, a bit of both.
And will someone please explain whether Live
Journal is basically screen reader friendly as is, in its basic form?
Yes it is. All it is is a website where you write up your feelings about
your every day life, your opinions on situations and things going on in
the news, or anything you could possibly imagine. and yes some stuff you
probably can't. It is very free, and open. no censorship!
The clients we're talking about here are just there to let you write an
entry and post it to your journal *without* having to actually visit the lj
website, going to the update journal link and writing in it that way. It
has different account types. A free account which you start with will let
you write via a lj client or the website. A paid account which has
different costs for different amounts of time, will give you the ability to
post to your journal via e-mail, or the phone. The FAQ explains all this
is great detail as I said. so just read all the pages. You aren't going to
understand all of it for sure because there *are* some visual aspects like
custom mood themes and styles. they just control the look and style of your
journal, but none of the ones i've seen have ever caused a single problem
with JAWS or any other screenreader I've used. This is probably the most
accessible blogging site on the net.
it has over 7 million subscribers to date and more are joining every day.
