Making Blogs Accessible to the Visually Impaired

The American Foundation for the Blind has published a new analysis of some popular blogs entitled Is Blogging Accessible to People with Vision Loss?

Two of the sites reviewed are powered by TypePad, and the other two are powered by Movable Type, so we're pleased that they all receive generally positive comments in regard to their accessibility for people with vision loss.

We're always looking for ways to make sure that blogs are accessible to the widest possible audience, and it's this sort of insight that makes improvements possible.

If you're looking for best practices to implement on your own sites, you can refer to the AFB's web accessibility guidelines for some good ideas to start with.
