The call goes out.

Hey guys.
I'm looking for a podcast coe-host. What? Well let me give you a quick background.
A year ago I was talking with a few friends and I was rambling as I do in no unusual manner. I said well what needs to happen is people need to meet on skype and start recording a weekly podcast about new events in the blind world talking about resources and so many other things. I fell silent and started thinking like a mad man. I drove myself crazy researching different platforms and learning html. Soon I had the ruff outline of what would eventually become what you see now.
It was all meant to be a podcast with just a small webpage alerting users of updated podcasts and a comment section. The first podcast was recorded after I had worked on the web site for a while. I keep meaning to record a podcast but have so much to talk about and would love to have a partner to break up me talking for 30 minutes.
So now I'm on the search for one, I reach out to you guys in hopes I get some good feedback. If you are interested in being a podcast host please read the following requirements:
1. Must be able to use skype and have a good stable connection.
2.Have a quiet recording area.
3. Be open minded but not afraid to give your opinion.
4. Must be able to keep the flow of a conversation going while doing other things like reading chat or researching something quickly.
5. Have headphones so your screenreader isn't chattering in the background.
6. Have a pretty good recording voice and be professional. I'm not saying it's a strict environment jokes are welcome but keep in minded this could reach all ages.
Well I think that covers the main things.
If you want to apply for the position email
info@blindaccessts.com
Please note that this is strictly volunteer, you will do it for the enjoyment of helping others.
THanks
As always stay safe.

Quick update.

Hi guys.
Well I'm excited to announce we have at least one article that was submitted by nonstaffers. The article is entitled The Art of Living with Vision Loss by Anne Morris Bliss. We'd like to thank Anne for such a well insight for dealing with vision loss.
It's that time of year and ACB and NFB conventions are coming. ACB is being held in Reno Nevada. NFB is being held in Orlando, Florida. ACB is July,8th to the 16th and NFB is July 3rd to July 8th. ACB is celebrating it's 50th year anniversary so congratulations.
We'd also see that the website is being spread around and we appreciate that. With out the viewers we'd be just another web page floating around in the big online world. I have a few things I'd like to set into play and wish to get your views on it to see if it'd be worth while.
1. I'm considering a livestream event so I can sit down and chat with you guys in a live audio session. I'm still working on making sure livestream is fully accessible and you can have an easy method of chatting with me. I have a few other streaming possibilities if it comes down to it.
2. another thing that would be really cool is your reports on the above mention conventions if you are going to attend them. You can be super detailed or just write a couple paragraphs. The point of them is to get others who may not of been able to go a glimpse inside a convention. We hope it will inspire them to attend next years. ACB or NFB doesn't matter.
3. We want to keep everyone informed of changes and you may not have a constant internet connection, but with all these new fangled mobile devices you can get E-mail or twitter feeds. So with that thought would you be willing to have a weekly news letter sent to your inbox? You can follow us on twitter as well. @blindaccessts is the magic key for twitter. So I'm asking questions and your like uh how do we give you answers? Well for now send an E-mail to
info@blindaccessts.com
The hosting company has web poles but I'm setting them up and going to make sure they don't have any accessibility issues.
Well with all that I hope your excited and will keep checking back. As always stay safe and keep sending people to the site.
THanks tons

Another cool feature.

Good morning.
Ever wanted to sit down and write an article about your trials or expierences of blindness. Do you have a story that you think will help explain how to deal with vision loss? Can you explain braille or traveling with a white cane? Well why don't you submit your articles to BlindAccessts and we'll post them for others to read.
Guide Lines.
Spellcheck, keep it clean not everyone is an adult, make sure your title fits the article. Don't write an article about guide dogs and name it peanut butter fingers. However if you want to write about PB and J we may post it if it explains how to spread with a knife. You can find submitted articles on the bookshelf.
Thanks I hope we can get some good material coming in.
Oh to submit an article please send the article to info@blindaccessts.com In the subject line the first 2 words should be article submission followed by your title.
A goal has been set to get 25 twitter followers. Spread the word and lets achieve it.

Feed back.

Hey guys.
After reviewing the feedback I'm excited to say it was mostly pretty sweet feedback. I adjusted the forums to ask for names and E-mail so now we can
get more info on comments that are vague. E-mail addresses will not be given out. In fact after I see the data collected it's trashed. We care about your privacy.
Some of you asked for job opportunities and I'm not exactly sure how to reflect that on the site. If your the person who suggested that please get in contact with me. Guide dogs are under organizations. As always we at BATS appreciate your suggestions and thoughts. Keep it up and together we'll make a great thing happen.
Thanks
Zack

Another resource added and some code changes.

Hey everyone.
A bookshelf has appeared and we need you guys to suggest books. A book has already been added. Dealing with Blindness by Fred Olver. You may tweet book titles or drop an E-mail to us. Please note the books must be about blindness related topics. I've adjusted some code and made some things centered that decided to hang out in the left field. Any suggestions to make the pages more accessible let me know and I'll see what can be done. As always stay safe and remember resources help everyone so share them.
Thanks
Zack.

Spreading the word around.

Hey guys.
I'm really sorry unfortunately I've been crazy busy with some
stuff that's decided to appear. However I'm glad to announce I was able to make a intro song for the podcast. I'll be recording a podcast soon. If you have topics email them to: info@blindaccessts.com
I would also like to say that the word should be spread around about the site. As more and more people find out about the webpage more and more things can be submitted and discovered.
And on a final note I've found some cool places to get gift ideas. Future Aids has an amazing variety of different puzzles and braille items. Drop in and check them out.
