hi.

[clefurgey]

Just thought I'd pop in really quickly to say hi, and how thrilled I am to see this community.
I'm a relative newby to DW, even though I've had my account here for ages (i'm lazy and don't update my journals enough).
Anyway, I love it here so far, with only a couple minor questions, one of which has nothing to do with DW specifically but I didn't know where else to post it, sooo.
First, I'm using both jaws and NVDA, and they both work really well.
Next, thank you for setting things up so that icon keywords or descriptions get read, I really appreciate it.
Now, for my questions.
1. Is there any way to take the news community off the top of my homePage? If not that's ok, it's not a huge deal, I just wondered.
2. Now, for the question that has nothing to do with DW. Does anyone know how to remove an account from the list of choices when you log into Semagic? I was setting something up the other day and made a mistake, but cannot find any way of deleting the screwed up account.
Sorry that last one's kinda OT, but I couldn't find anywhere else to post it.
Anyway, thanks for any help anyone can give, and I look forward to using DW.

There isn't a way to customize the homepage at the moment! but we have a bug open for it.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
Good to know you guys are looking into HomePage customization. Like I said, not a huge deal, but still good to know.
One more question, why can't I use myusername.dreamwidth.org/friends to see my, is it reading page? Yeah, i'm so used to lj's terms haha.
Same goes to see my own journal, now that I think about it.
Or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks for reading, feel free to rec coms to me, if you think they'd help.

Your reading page is at http://clefurgey.dreamwidth.org/read -- we don't use 'friends', because we changed the whole concept. Your journal's at http://clefurgey.dreamwidth.org/ .

OMG duh!
Yeah, I should have figured that one out haha. My brain's not working, apparently. But hey, that's nothing normal, so.
Thanks again for the quick response, this is awesome.

It took me a while to get used to the fact that DW user questions are answered not just politely and personally but also QUICKLY. It's like they enjoy working here! ;-)

[denise]

I think it's more a sign that we have no lives. *G*

[clefurgey]

Whatever it means, I appreciate it. I haven't posted anything for lj staff to anser except to tell them how very angry I am at what they've done lately, but, as seems to be the case whenever they change something that nobody likes, nobody's getting any answers.
long live DW!

[clefurgey]

haha! I was actually thinking the same thing when I got the first reply.
Thanks, DW staff, for making us feel appreciated.

Hi! We wanted to welcome you to the community!

DW is amazing.

And sadly, I'm really not sure of any way to take any accounts off Semagic and I don't think the news comm is removable.

But if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question, from one NVDA user to another.

Is there any way to use Semagic with NVDA, or are you forced to use JAWS with Semagic? Was just curious, as we didn't have any luck with that ourselves and thought if you did, we'd ask.

But yes. WElcome to the community. DW is about the most accessible journalling site we personally know of and we're glad you enjoy it here.

-K. E.

Thanks! I really do like it so far.
Um, you can use NVDA, it just doesn't seem to read very well when you're typing.
Like, when I posted through it earlier and read with my arrows the entry showed up as question marks, but it seemed to post perfectly fine.
Now that could just be my computer (I have video card driver issues), but I dunno. I'll try it on my netbook sometime and see.
You can backspace over mistakes perfectly fine, at least I could.
Hope that makes sense, feel free to ask if you don't understand something.
