Ever wonder what RonFez.net would look like to a blind person? Well, look no farther:

Yayy! Carter, you're handicap-friendly!

This being the last day of my vacation I was tooling about the `net with Lynx, and went here to check out the new posts.

AND IT WORKED!

One of the things I nitpick about privately, is accessibility for people who don't have fancy-schmancy browser--or who MUST use text-only browsers because they are blind, and have software that reads the screen to them.

Think about it: radio is TV for the blind. If that is so, then blind people must surely try to come to RonFez.net.

I was able to peruse the entire site, plus download pictures and sounds. I didn't try chat but I did try to post--it didn't send my message but I think that had to do with my personal settings in Lynx.

*snif* I'm so proud! You guys are GREAT!

For anyone who'd like to make sure their web page is handicap accessible, a couple of quick tips would be to make good use of ALT tags and give text alternatives to flash images.

Wonderful, guys! Simply wonderful!

Ginny...I recommend a hobby. Nice though, thanks.

Although I agree with you radio is a great medium for the deaf, the Internet is not.

:)

I mean how would they even know where the icon is to unzip the sound file after they download it?

Weird...

I gotta agree with Jeff here. I mean, how exactly are blind people supposed to see all the porn?

hmm. Welp, Lynx is my browser of choice--I don't have to load any scripts, I get no java runtime errors,I NEVER see popup advertising--it's all good! Surfing text-only is *fast*. AND, if you're blind, the internet is a great equalizer--being partially blind in one eye, I learned a bit about the subject. I use IE 6 for when I wanna see all the purty pictures and test stuff on my home page. :)

Now....text only porn is easy to get a hold of...

But for the folks who see, here's some "text" porn:

For folks who can't see, a former dot-com guest from freepornsource.com might still have a list of pages wheree one can find risque stories--all text.

Reading is FUNdamental!

since french bread doesn't know about tasteless, maybe she's one of those people that ron talks about who doesn't listen to the show but just likes posting on ronfez.net.
