Hi everyone,
Wow, it's been forever since I've looked at this mailing list.  I hope everyone 
is doing well.

I've just started development on a new social network specifically for blind 
users, and I would love some feedback at this stage.  My goal is to create an 
online community, similar to Facebook or MySpace, with content and features 
geared toward people using screen readers.  I’m trying to make the interface 
really simple with little clutter and no annoying images.  So far, I’ve been 
focusing on the profile, personal blogging, and public forum features.

The site is by no means complete, and many of the features aren’t yet fully 
accessible (or functional), but I would definitely appreciate some opinions 
before anymore work is put into the project.  Please give me some feedback on 
the website's usability, maybe some ideas for features, or opinions on whether 
or not you even like the idea of a blind social network.  If there seems to be 
interest in the project, I think it would be something worth expanding upon.

If you would like to give input, the site is located at www.blinknation.com .  
Feel free to make an account, test things out, and leave your comments in the 
forum.

Thanks so much your help,

dusty.......
