MessageLisa, thank you so much for sharing your Web site with us. I'm
always glad to hear a little music when I first enter a Web site. Please
don't be discouraged by those who feel a need to get their own personal
preferences met by being rude. I'm sure that with time you'll learn ways of
making your wweb more accessible to those who use screen readers and esp. if
you're given some friendly pointers and suggestions. I'm sure you've put a
lot of work into your website, and I wish you lots of luck in your course
and in your work. I'm also sure that there are many of us on this list that
will be happy to answer any questions you might have about making your web
site more accessible, off list if necessary, and in an encouraging manner.
Deb B.

Lisa,
Congratulations on your certification.
My impressions of your Web site are:
I think you have missed the boat on your Web site. I just went to your Web
site and left right away. You have made your Web site not appealing for
screen reader visitors by having your Web page play music when you first
open it. The music interferes with listening to the screen. I for one will
not stay at a Web site that plays audio without my first requesting it,
while I am browsing it. I come to the Web sites to find information. If it
is music I am looking for, then let me find what I am looking for and give
me the choice of listening to it.
I suggest that you check out the World Wide Web Consortium on Web
Accessibility, the W3C will provide you with all that you need to know on
making an accessible Web Site.
I find it somewhat ironic that you are working towards graduating in the
Braille Program at your college, meaning that you are wanting to help in the
field of accessibility, but you don't extend the concept of accessibility to
your Web site.

Hi everyone,
I am sending out a notice to everyone to inform you that I have
submitted my trial manuscript to the Library of Congress for NLS
certification in Literary Braille Transcription. It was sent out in
March 16, 2004. After waiting for almost 2 months, I decided to call
NLS to find out the status of my manuscript. As of May 12, 2004, I
passed the test with a score of 90 out of 100 which is a passing grade
for certification in Braille Transcription. I am very thankful that I
have achieved this goal. The next step is to complete the rest of the
Braille program and graduate as being the pioneer in the Braille program
at Noarthwest Vista College. If anyone haven't explored my web site
that I have been developing over the last few months, check it out.
I look forward to everyone's responses.
