So far so good! Wordpress is a good platform. I use a self hosted version but I've been quite satisfied. Keep up the writing, staying consistent has been one of my failures. Perhaps I should Reddit less...

Hey Nick,
I would like to quote you:
"It’s raining. I don’t know what else to say. Other then, I was hoping for a beautiful day. Granted, being blind makes it difficult to determine if it was a beautiful day or just an OK day. But nonetheless my ego will be fine."
I laugh (hope I'm not insulting you). My kind of humour. The image is powerful and I liked it. I'm not blind btw. I'm a Web Developer lady who just started to really want to improve the experience of visually impaired visitors online.
So your website looks great. However wasn't able to read the posts with VoiceOver (Mac). Am I the only one?

I'm on a Mac as well and so far the first post has worked great. Other than a few grammar errors which can be a little more difficult to catch without sight things seem good. Time to keep reading!
Wordpress is a good CMS for accessibility. I have a friend on the team and I know they actively work to keep things working properly for folks with disabilities.

I actually have two websites. One is just a regular blog but the other is more informational and has lots of lists and extra HTML that I have to format. I'm starting to think about adding Byword to my workflow. It is a markdown tool that will automatically convert to HTML for you.
