Apologies. I'm on catchup. Is Safari now supported by jaws 11? A quick
google and look at jaws 11 help documents didn't reveal anything on
this.

Hi
I get the rss feeds from the news and technology pages and today there
were a whole bunch of oldish stories as well as some new ones.
Guess it may take a while for it to settle down.
BTW safari 5 has a handy new reader button that cuts out all the
spurious links and ads making the reading experience much nicer.
Cheers

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.
