Description

Regular blog with file and photo management, skinning and support for user permissions. However, this service requires a download and has a very complicated admin user interface rather like a content management system. It is more of a power users application but does therefore offer many more options for customisation and accessibility.

Accessibility Testing Results

There are many good aspects about this service once you are over the technical aspects and it does result in some very accessible web pages if used correctly. Text and contrast levels and can be chosen and zoom is good throughout. Keyboard navigation is possible and WebbIE reads the pages well.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		Signup and signin forms are accessible, with correct labelling for screenreaders.
2	Image ALT Attributes		This is a service for adding a blog application to a website so image tags and alt attributes will depend on the user. It is possible to add them when writing a blog.
3	Link Target Definitions		Images used as Edit buttons with ambiguous titles.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6	Audio/Video Features		N/A - This site does not deal with multimedia content although users of the blogs can add images etc if required.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		N/A as this is a service for adding a blog to a website - users would be able to add audio files if they were developing a blog.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Tables are not used for the design of this website.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		The website is fully accessible without the use of a mouse.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		The rich text editor is fully accessible with good keyboard access.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		The site usually offers suitable feedback.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		Some inadequate contrast, particularly in headings. However, a blog owner could modify the template.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		Each page in the administration interface is crammed with lots of text and at least three toolbar menus. This may be distracting for some and hard to navigate.
