Dear AccessWorld Editor,
My comment might be in that back row; I’m not at all young, probably there’s where the problem lies. Every month I go to read Access World, and I do read it, but the task of going from article to article, it seems more adventurous than it needs to be. I liked the format where we would read an article and at the end you could choose, previous or next article. Being honest here, I could not tell a friend how to read through AccessWorld today. I mess around until I get it. Well okay, I chafed at having to arrow through the Facebook reference, twitter, what have you; I simply want to read the darned magazine. So today I asked JAWS to do the Links List, no help, it was grand AFB material, so while I am fully aware that many of us simply breeze through websites, even really hard ones, sorry to say I don’t. You mention a change for this issue? Hmmm, I hope to get it, so far, this time actually seems harder. I’m so behind in all the amazing new things on the internet that I’m almost always certain the problem is me, but I am a loyal reader, I would love for the experience to seem more straight forward for me. Demographically, if it helps at all, I’m 75, I’ve always been blind, and I use JAWS all up to date. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Mike Cole from Berkeley Ca.
Response from AccessWorld Editor, Aaron Preece
Unfortunately, AccessWorld is still running on our interim platform, so some features are currently unavailable until the updated AccessWorld website is ready for launch. We have been manually adding a link to the table of contents for the current issue at the bottom of each article, and starting with this issue, I have also begun to add previous and next article links at the bottom of each piece. Again, these are being added manually, so if you notice a missing link, please let me know and I can fix it.
As always, the feedback is much appreciated; it is always helpful as we aim to make the magazine as helpful and user friendly as we can.
