With all of this talk of monetizing blogs...
How POUR is your blog?
Hello and welcome!
Please allow me to introduce myself...I’m Glenda Watson Hyatt.
For more than ten years, I have worked with three levels of government, transit authorities and non-profit organizations to improve accessibility of their websites for people with disabilities.
I am well-versed in the internationally-recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and am rapidly absorbing the changes that come with the newly released 2.0 version. I am also familiar with the United States legislation Section 508 that, in part, requires specified categories of websites to be accessible to people with disabilities.
I am now combining my web accessibility expertise with my passion for blogging and my first-hand experience living with a disability to work with bloggers to create an accessible blogosphere, one blog at a time.
