Chris,

Thank you Kobus for actually logging in and taking a look at the site. What a group! This is what I call a global community.

You're welcome, Chris! You can call on me any time.

The only area which is difficult to understand is layout and visual design concepts. But, I guess that is to be expected to some extent considering I can't see the screen. lol

I will help you with customizing your layout as well, should you need help. You've got my mail address.

The President of our organization is also blind. He asked me to help him develop this community portal. He wanted it to do many things but the problem was we are starting with very limited funding.

Since I am already busy with such a project, I will help you guys free of charge, providing that whatever things I implement for you, I am free to use on my own project, as well as give back to Drupal. Let me know if you're interested.

What I am struggling with, working by myself and with no staff around, is what it looks like.

If you need help with the layout, let me know. I can help you a bit with it.

More detailed descriptions of themes and templates would help tremendously.

I am member of http://themes.drupal.org where we are in the process of handling this issue. Feel free to take a look around that page for more information about themes and templates.

Also, if anybody could give me suggestions once I have the text and navigation situated, it would be greatly appreciated.

I will help maintain your site for you, with regards to grammar and spelling, as well as styling of your text into paragraphs and so forth. Let me know when I can help.

And there is the graphic design and presentation. This area is very challenging for somebody who is blind with existing tools.

Again, I'll help here if you wish.

What may make it better is to offer detailed descriptions of what the themes and templates look like.

Thanks for the suggestion - I will talk to Ber (Coordinator of http://themes.drupal.org) with regards to this, and solicit his ideas.

You can provide practical ideas of how pages can be laid out with the blocks and menus.

Maybe we can work on this together, since I believe that people with normal sight usually don't think the same way blind people do with regards to layout. Again, I am available for this.

Regards,

Kobus
