Website for the Blind
I found this website for the blind: http://www.hsbp.co.uk/Templates/Internal.asp?NodeID=91001
What grabbed my attention was the stong graphic that showed a girl with her hand covering her eyes and the caption said "Imagine more..." I though this was a very powerful statement and was a postitive way to represent the blind. Instead of showing it as a disability, the website represents being blind as another way to look at life, by imagining the things that they can't see, which is a positive outlook. This website gives the blind a place to go to look for job opportunites, learn the latest updates and news, and also view upcoming events for them.

A lot of people don't understand how visually impaired people can use the internet. Most rely on screen readers that can render webpages into spoken word (which is why it is important for web designers to follow certain accessibility guidelines).
I think that it is really cool that there are websites for visually impaired people. I don't think i would have ever thought that there were actually sites they could could use. i think it is neat that there are these sites and the site you had a link for was really interesting.
