Understood Francis!
The non-text papers and such may be not always totally accessible but a number
are.
Now if The Mod allows, maybe folk who may use such give us back to this list
their comments and reflections, perhaps identifying those that say that are
fairly or quite accessible for example.
I don't believe that all non-text sites are altogether badd as I know you are
aware!
I'm not naive I assure you knowing that there is a bit to go with accessibility
re newspapers and the like.
Let's keep on truckin!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the feedback. I've added Insight Radio to the list of radio
stations, thanks for that and I'll give the address of the website I came
across before that has links to newspapers in Ireland. These are links to the
full websites of the newspapers, not the text sites.
I don't know how accessible these sites are I'm just putting it out there for
anyone that might want to explore them. The website address is
http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/ireland.htm
Thanks again Tony.
All the best,
Francis.

Hi Francis,
Glad to see that you have now headings on your site.
I was wondering when that might happen!
Nice one!
Now with regard to the text-only versions of newspapers and the like could
they be a separate heading with the others of non-text be a separate heading
too?
Am very much in favour of the latter as well as of course the text-only
versions .
Now just one more thing to add, if I may suggest.
The RNIB have a station called Insight Radio so possibly consider adding
that one too to your stations list.
I don't listen to it much myself except say when they would be covering
Sight Village and such but some others may find generally that station of
interest to them.
www.insightradio.co.uk
Continued progress with your sight.
Tony

Hi all,
Just to let you know that the Easylinks website now has headings to make
it easier for screen reader users. So a Jaws user can now tap the letter H to
go through the headings instead of having to arrow all the way down to get to
where they want to go. There are 6 headings on the page, these are News and
Information Websites, News Video and Audio, T V Listings, Irish Radio Stations,
Regional Radio Stations, International Radio Stations. This should make it
easier to navigate around and save you constantly arrowing down or constantly
tabbing. Hope you find it user friendly. Thanks to Joan Ann for the suggestion.
For anyone not familiar with headings it won't impact on the way you currently
use the site. The address again is http://easylinks.yolasite.com/ All feedback
welcome.
Thanks,
Francis.
