New Accessibility Options


A couple of weeks ago I posted about our new versions of this site for the iPhone and for other mobile browsers like the Black Berry. Since then I’ve added some even more accessibility options to the site. To start with there’s now a Listen Now button under each post title that will allow our visually impaired readers or anyone else for that matter to hear an individual post read to them.

In addition to the Listen Now button, readers can also choose to subscribe to our podcast and download all the posts for later playback on their iPods.

In addition to both of the listen options, there’s a email subscription service that will automatically mail you an email with the entire post in it each day that a new post is written. You can sign up via the right-side navigation bar.

If you use iGoogle as a home page, you can now have the most recent posts, you can choose the number, to show up as a iGadget for your iGoogle home page. This feature is also available via the right-side navigation bar.

And finally the About Us page has been updated to show the various widgets that you can get the code for and post on your own blogs to follow the Living Downtown Des Moines posts.
