How can blind users find out what's in WP's inaccessible graphics like #8 creati
-
I’m blind and can’t access a graphic in WP instructions for making a static homepage.
I use the popular screen reader Jaws to access Word Press. It seems that some instructions are inaccessible to blind bloggers.
On the support page describing how to make a static homepage :
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
there seems to be missing information after #8. This is what my screen reader can access.

I’m very sorry the information isn’t accessible – it’s a screenshot.
The settings should be:
Next to “front page displays” – select the “a static page” radio button.
Set the drop-down menus as follows:
Front page – Home
Posts page – PostJust let me know if you need further assistance.

Cathryn, Thanks. I made the 2 pages, but at dashboard/settings, there are only 3 drop-downs (time zone, week starts & language. I can’t find any mention of Front page.
