I agree with you. That's why I quickly gave up trying to learn html coding. So which cms's have you found most accessible with jaws? I'm using joomla now, and it seems okay. Although, like i said earlier, some of its functions are java-based.

If you're not a code nerd, don't even try. The wheel has already been invented in the form of CMS's or Content Management Systems. There are tons of them. Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Hostbaby, etc. Find the one you want, and roll with it. Most web providers such as Host Gator support all of these platforms, except Host Baby, which is a host/web builder package for musicians. You're ultimate goal is not to geek out, unless you absolutely have the chops to do so. You're a musician, an artist, a creative thinker, a creator of content. That should be your main objective. To get your stuff out there. The above mentioned content management systems that I mentioned really help you do that in a quick and easy way, and all the sites are completely accessible. If you want my thoughts on specific CMS's, let me know. Hope this helps.

What are the most effective methods you've discovered for the best accessibility for us? Doing things like: uploading our music, etc? The person who set up my website used joomla, and I'm now learning to navigate with that, but some of it is java-based, and jaws won't work with it. Any simpler suggestions? Thanks.
