There are more people on the blind webbers list. I started the blind html list for the purpose of general discussion, not related necessarily to be for web design. It was intended to be for web design, but that was before I figured out that there was already a list for web design.

By the way, sorry, the real link for my list is:
blind_html@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The subscribe link then becomes:
blind_html-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
thanks

Why are there 2 lists for the same purpose?
Does anyone know which one is better?

Jamal's text pal is also useable for html as well.
http://www.empowermentzone.com/palsetup.exe

folks are also using asp.net, Ajax, and some others that I don't have noted as of this time.

the better sites are using html, or php, or combo's of both usually, and CSS is the big page formatting and styling code.

there are tutorials available on some of the html variations at the following sites:

this one is on website design:
http://www.webdesign.org.

a color picker that is accessible is at:
http://gutterstar.net/mbrs/colorgen.php

HTML tutorial from the blind Webbers list:

xhtml:

and as far as I have resources to right now, CSS can be gotten from the w3c schools site at:
www.w3schools.com/

and the web accessibility Standards can be found at:
www.w3c.org

there is a list dedicated to blind web site builders at:
blindwebbers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I wish it wouldn't. I'm in the midst of designing our church's
website, lot of elderly folks so I'm pretty much the resident geek, &
I'd like to hear what others do. Cant't  it stay civilized?

What tools do folks use to edit websites? Do yall stick pretty much to
writing html code or do yall venture out into some of the wysiwyg
editors?
