Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

Thankyou everyone who has helped to celebrate #Braille200 through 2025. Braille is not just a code; it is a literacy system, a cultural achievement of blind people worldwide. Like sign languages, it embodies identity, dignity, and community. Braille is an early example of #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

Someone has decided it's a good idea to let our little blues band play in public this coming weekend. If you're in Worcester, you may want to make other plans. Yors truly on keys. The Demijohns foot tapping Rhythm n Blues Live at The Chestnut Sunday 17th August, 6.00pm

#DisabilityPride an #BlindPride. For me, being blind can make us more resiliant, creative problem solvers, innovators and more. Our blindness can become a source of strength enabling us to do things that we may not have considered were we sighted.

Print media to stop using the word blind to mean ignorant. For example, turn a blind eye. Reenforces negative perceptions. It is respectable to be blind and blindness does not equate to stupidity.
