: Hi Paul,
:
: As I've only recently started using Facebook myself, I'm afraid that I
: haven't got much to help you with except that I believe that there is a 
list
: run by Chris Hallsworth that is dedicated to accessing Facebook as a blind
: user.  From one of Chris' previous postings to this list, I found the
: following:
:
: To subscribe to the Blind Facebook list, send a message to
: 'b-f-b-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
:
: The only other things which might be of use initially are 2 quick tips 
that
: I only found out about because my sighted son told me about them.
:
: Firstly, I believe that there are 3 links near the top of the page which
: were unlabelled.  I think that they come immediately after the first
: occurrence of the "Home" link - or at least they used to.  I noticed today
: that the interface appears to have been changed so perhaps this has now 
been
: sorted.  In any case, once I had been told what they were for and had used
: the Graphics labeller to label them sensibly, the page made some more 
sense.
: I think the links were "Friend requests", "Personal messages" and
: "Notifications".
:
: The other thing that will probably not be obvious is that to log off the
: site, you first have to click on the "Account" button and then scroll down
: to the "Logout" button.  The account button activates a small menu that
: opens up on screen.  A pain until you know about it!!
:
: I also noticed that generous use of the letter H key is very helpful as
: Facebook makes a lot of use of headings on the various pages.
:
: Apart from that I'm a bit in the dark myself at present.
:
: Good luck.
:
: Jamie

:
: Hi all,
:
: Using JAWS 12 with windows XP and IE7.
:
: I finally joined Facebook on monday night but this was after I had
: experienced a number of dificulties the previous evening.
:
: So far, I have got a small number of friends.
:
: I am using the main site as I don't think you can get much info from the
: mobile site but could well be wrong.
:
: I feel that I am going round in a circle and could do with some help 
please.
:
: Tonight, I attempted to view all members of a particular page but for some
: reason, I am unabel to do it.
:
: Also I sometimes find that when I enter on a link, I don't seem to be on 
the
:
: page I wanted.
:
: That said, it could be that the same amount of links appears on all pages
: which makes it a little confusing for me.
:
: Also, I am finding it difficult to locate my friends on Facebook and also
: any messages sent.
:
: Although I did find the page earlier on with my Friends messages on it, I
: can now no longer find it.
:
: Any tips as to how I can successfully navigate round Facebook would be 
very
: much appreciated.
:
: Thanks.
:
: Paul.
