"Hi im here to help and kinda complain. The menu should really be on every page (lazy tisk tisk) You are using pictures for the menu how do you expect disabled eg Blind people to use it and I aint being funny very un social(ist) of you"
Yeh, apparently when it comes to computers i am disriminatory and unfair. So who thinks we should all get brail and voice controls and stuff?
The internet wasnt actually designed for everyone to be able to access information, it was for transferring and displaying information. Peoples disabilities shouldnt be mocked by this person and used to give the idea that a bad website has been designed. What does everyone else think about the internet and its uses for all people?

Basically, you should have a navigation on every page on your site, or at least a back button. Plus make sure everything is readable and clear and keep graphics to a minimum to ensure speed and to make the site more usable and less cluttered, although this site is undergoing a revamp at the moment, it'll look alot better in a few weeks. Overall, a little work on the site and it'll be good. Try and keep the link graphics small, cos at the moment they are huge. lol. Practice makes perfect

Plus i think they guy that posted on your site is a bit over the top, just ignore him. mwah haha

Okaaayyyy... I made the graphics smaller and did some stuff.
Its a good idea that people should be able to view the site even if theyre blind, but in reality you cant write everything in text, its necessary to have some graphics on a website. Well all the important stuff is in text anyway, although i dont think we'll get many blind visitors. Good to be prepared i guess. Any more suggestions for the site, something to make it more interesting or better? i did a fanfeedback questionairre thingy, mp3s will be ready on wednesday i think, that UIMA looks really good, thats what we're on.

hell, my site's all text but it's nothing to do with blind people- i'm just too lazy to draw any pictures... pictoral logos are in the pipeline though, as are 1,000,001 other things...

my website should now be in my new, improved sig, which now has the blind (no pun intended) link removed- i screwed it up before because the UBBCode here is slightly different than the ones on the other forums i'm on...
