Running these websites, I have encountered several members that are blind. I wondered how a blind person gets along on the internet. One of these members shared some info that there are text to speech solution that give these folks this ability. There is even a way for me to make my websites more friendly for them. Unfortunately, the image verification system that my sites use make it difficult for the blind. If anyone emails me, I will manually create an account for them like I have done 2 other times.
