Styles: advice on the positioning of the Navigation module

[ninetydegrees]

Hi,

I'm a style developer and I would like to ask the advice of screenreader users about the positioning of the Navigation module (i.e. links to Recent Entries, Reading, Archive, etc.). Several styles display this module in the 'header' area. However, its actual place in the source code varies from one style to another and I'd like to know what the optimum place is for you. Let me link you to examples:

1) Link to example 1. This is the Transmogrified style. In the source code, the navigation module is below the journal title. It's also displayed there.

2) Link to example 2. This is Modular. In the source code, the module is above the journal title and subtitles. It's also displayed there.

3) Link to example 3. This is Bases. In the source code, the module is below entries while it's displayed above entries, below the journal title and subtitles.

4) Link to example 4. This is Crossroads. In the source code, the module is in the sidebar, below the profile module by default while it's displayed at the top of the page, above the journal title and subtitles.

Would you tell me what the best place is for you, please? Suggestions and ideas about other possibilities are welcome, of course. :)

I think that would be helpful to some people, though not necessarily to me. It's just one of those habits of usage things -- I don't tend to use the find text string feature on webpages much, but I know some screenreader and magnification users who use it all the time.
