Hi there.
The new BBC website went live this morning. From a screenreader
perspective the layout will look pretty much the same with a bit more
detail.
The word 'New' appears after stories that have just been put on the
site.
There are a good few many more headings on the page meaning that you can
get a good sense of most of the page by toggling with your H key.
There are a few places where you see some unusual things like Africa is
a heading level 3, and on the line below that you have Africa as a
heading level 4. I suspect there is some kind of image or bar or
something in between the two for those blessed with sight but looks a
little weird in a screenreader. I'll be feeding this back.
I fancy the page might be a little more sluggish but then my entire
computer is acting sluggish today so I can't tell. I fear there may be a
little more Flash or java on the page now, weighing jaws down.
...Damon
