Foiled again ...
I've always had issues with Blogger, mainly that most of the buttons simply don't work with my screen reader meaning I have to manually do the html code to make things bold, linked or insert images. ... that explains the several posts that were missing paragraph breks when I forgot to add them manually!</p>
<p>You may be thinking I've stopped reading all your posts lately, given the total absence of any comments from me ... this is not by choice, so I thought I'd better do a quick post to explain myself!</p><p>
Blogger has apparently changed something in its templates ... for the last month or so, if your blog opens a new window for people to leave comments, that new window stubbornly refuses to cooperate with my screen reader. I simply can't get into the box to type my comment, nor does the submit button work ... in the very rare instances I can get into the comment box and remember to copy my comment to the clipboard, then at least I get the chance to paste it into an email and send you that when the submit button doesn't work .... but in most instances I'm not even getting that far.<>/p<>pSo, in a nutshell, a big BAH! to Blogger ... I wish I was able to leave more comments, but I'm certainly still reading all your posts! ... hopefully Blogger will de-change whatever they changed but I'm not holding my breath! ... Maybe they did it because they didn't like my helpful message I sent them explaining how much trouble people were having with their spam prevention random words thing, and how both visual and audio challenges were verging on the impossible ... I had a helpful suggestion on how they could adapt this system but I guess they don't like constructive criticism ... I'll save my breath in future! ...
