BBC on the right track to accessibility
Posted on Tuesday 10th May, 2011
I've been badgering the BBC for a couple of years now to make the excellent My Web My Way website much more user friendly by adding 'how to' videos to the site. After all, people with a variety of impairments are very easily put off by a long list of text instructions. If you can see how to do it on screen, you're much more likely to be able to make the changes for yourself.
Can I declare a vested interest here? I have narrated many of the videos now on the new site. For example, you might want to know how to enlarge the text in Mac OS X or you might want to know how to change the keyboard settings in Windows 7.
Thankfully, for these and a host of other necessary adjustments help is now at hand. Rather nice of the BBC to do the IT providers' job for them isn't it?
You may think this isn't the most complimentary name for a blog.
