Vickie, I'm stil not clear what you meant. Are you saying that you already have a Web site? And now you want, for some reason, to compose something like journal entries or opinion somewhere *other* than on your own Web site, and link to them from your site? I don't understand the idea. If you already have a personal Web site, why not just devote a portion of it to your ongoing blog-like entries? Why worry about establishing a separate blog for yourself on one of the blog sites, and then providing links on your already existing Web site to the blogs you have created a home for somewhere else?Many or most people who maintain their own Web sites and want oto keep the site dynamic and have visitors keep coming back to see updated material do exactly that. They use one page or area of their site as a place for their own reflections and comments, often providing some way for visitors to respond on the site to each entry. , a If I've misunderstood you, it's only because you haven't said exactly what you're actually thinking. If I have misinterpreted your meaning again, please just try to reconsider how you've described your idea and rephrase it. that's all it will take, whether your ideas are still in flux or not. That isn't what's keeping me from understanding what you're saying. Thanks.

I will be writing the blogs and there will be links to those on my website. I need to know how to create the website first, which is not actually the question at the moment, and then put the links to the blogs I've written on the blog site which is what I'm asking about now. I know it's confusing, and it's probably because I'm still in the thinking part of it. I'm just looking at all the options, and I'm trying to decide which of those are most appropriate with JAWS. Thanks so much for the help.

I misinterpreted the question. It appeared to be, to paraphrase, "I'd like to begin posting a bog, myself. I understand there are a bunch of free sites where you can use a prefabricated template that enables most people to do this pretty easily without much technical expertise, but I have the added complication of needing to know which of these sites and templates is easiest to use with jaws." That's what I thought you meant. Now, it seems that what you're saying is more like "I'd like to build a Web site for myself, one of the purposes of which will be to provide links to blogs I've read and want people to take a look at. Does anyone know where I can get the best method for building a personal web site, finding a host for it, getting a domain name, and constructing it?" That's what it sounds like , now. And I regret to say that I don't have that expertise. I hope someone else does, though. good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicki Wherry" <amethyst17@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 6:48 PM Subject: Re: creating bloggs I'm more interested in written blogs, and if I can manage to find the time, I might actually put them on my website. I guess the first question should be what's the most JAWS friendly way to create my website, and then how do I had the blog to that? I'm pretty computer literate, but his is fairly new to me. Thanks.

I haven't yet seen anyone address this. Just trying to clarify. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anjelina" <cruz.anjelina@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:25 PM Subject: Re: creating bloggs xanga.com just added audio blogs to the site. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Hill" <khill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 6:37 PM Subject: Re: creating bloggs I've heard of some sites used mostly by blind people for audio blogging but I don't know where they are or what equipment or software is required. If you have a lot of sighted friends mySpace is where you'll be most likely to find them and they you. the accessibility of the site itself is pretty fair though sometimes people choose layouts for their spaces that are not accessible. There is also a lot of flash content to deal with but overall, it's fairly interesting and kind of fun.
