Hi Darcy and all
Ok, now I really hope I'm not opening a can of worms on this one, but
I'm afraid I may, so let's hope that we can all discuss this thing
without all getting fired up. I just finished listening to the most
recent DHS podcast, and I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with
Darcy about the whole issue of accessibility. I have to say that I think
the site in question,
http://www.net-guide.co.uk/search/Leisure/Podcasts/
Takes things way way overboard, because sites that most, if not all the
people that I encounter on a daily basis, have absolutely no problems
accessing these sites. I also think Darcy is correct when he pointed
out that someone new to Podcasting, not knowing any better, would have a
preconceived notion about a podcast's website, based on the rating it
gets. That's the thing about the word "accessibility" it's either all or
nothing to a lot of people and it just doesn't seem right to me. I find
almost all the podcast websites I visit to be extremely accessible, and
the ones that are a bit cluttered, I know how to find my way around.
I mean, look at these results.
Blind Chance, Shane's Live Journal, The Desert Skies Podcast, and The
Darcy and Holly Show all got an accessibility rating of fare. I
don't have a single problem accessing these sites at all. none
whatsoever.
Geek News Central got an average,
Blind Cool Tech got an average, as did The Mosen Explosion among others.
I don't have trouble with any of these sites, do any of you guys? I'd
like to see if anyone else thinks these guys are just a little off?I
definitely think so.
