A great thing about blogging is that other bloggers can remind you that sometimes it’s just a case of finding a happy medium.

With this in mind, I have actually made some progress in feeling more comfortable with what I feel I can talk about and how I go about doing it. Still work to do but things are looking up.

We can only learn by making mistakes. But sometimes as we get older, we feel we’ve made enough mistakes and we feel we are sufficiently experienced to do things correctly most of the time. When this happens, we slow down and become static. Sometimes we carry on learning but in a much more controlled way. It’s called maturity.

I don’t ever want to feel I’ve learnt so much that I can sit back and slow down. If being mature means I make fewer mistakes then something is going horribly wrong.

I must make new mistakes.

It’s important to me that my website is accessible to as many types of people as possible, including those who choose to use speech enabled browsers or braille displays, and those who prefer to specify their own text style, size or colour.

For me, accessible here means that content should make no less sense than it would through a common visual browser and that readers should be able to interact using their chosen device.

I have no experience of using these types of browsers and displays so this is going to be a challenge.

To begin with, I’m going to focus on the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, but I would actually like to move beyond this in the longer term and get some direct experience with speech and braille systems and how people use these.
