October 27th, 2005 — Accessibility
Steve Faulkner from Vision Australia has just released the latest version of the Web Accessibility Toolbar EN 1.2. You can download the toolbar here.
I did use the older version of the Toolbar at one stage, but with keyboard conflicts interfering with my web development work, it meant that I had to remove it from my work machine. This newer version seems to address this issue, among other things. I haven’t had a chance to evaluate the latest version yet, but it’s always great having these tools….especially when they’re free (I’m sure donations would be greatly appreciated)!

Thanks goes to Skit for suggesting Live+Press. Since I now have my blog up and running, I needed to have the option of syncing my posts with LiveJournal, which Live+Press does. My blog still requires some heavy CSS customisation but at least the basics are there.

I know that I’ve been saying this for the past 18 months……but I’m in the processing of getting my blog up and running, so please bear with me and keeping checking back!
