BlindWiki Reboots: New Content & You!

BlindWiki: Rebooting with Fresh Content!

Hey BlindWiki community!

Life can be a wild ride, and sometimes even the coolest projects need a pit stop. That’s what happened with BlindWiki. Balancing college and everything else meant BlindWiki wasn’t getting the TLC it deserves.

But fear not! BlindWiki is back and ready to keep growing!

A Fresh Look, Focused Flow

Instead of a total overhaul, I’m giving BlindWiki a sleek redesign and adding awesome new resources bit by bit. This way, I can keep BlindWiki expanding while juggling all my other commitments.

What’s in Store?

BlindWiki will continue to strive to be your one-stop shop for all things blind related. We’ll be adding fresh content in key areas like:

• Tech Reviews: New assistive tech like screen readers and smartphones? We’ll have in depth reviews to help you choose the perfect tool.

• Accessibility Hacks: Got a killer tip for navigating life as a blind person? Share your wisdom and inspire others!

• Informative Articles: We’ll delve into topics like education, employment, and independent living, all from an accessibility perspective.

Calling All Accessibility All-Stars!

This is where you come in! We’re looking for passionate people like you to contribute content.  Whether you’re a tech whiz with a knack for reviews, an accessibility guru with life hacks to share, or a writer with insights into the blind experience, we want to hear from you!

Ready to Be Part of the BlindWiki Story?

Email me at submissions@blindwiki.com to submit your tech reviews, accessibility articles, or any brilliant content ideas you have. I’m always looking for article writers, resource gatherers and researchers who are open to volunteering their time and knowledge. Become a site author or contributor and become a valued member of the team. Together, we can make BlindWiki an even more valuable resource for the entire blind and visually impaired community.

Stay tuned for updates on the new website design and exciting new content!

Take care,

Zack

Changes, updates and more!

The site is undergoing a massive transformation. I’ve removed old pages and will be adding new resources that don’t have broken links.
I started this project back in 2011, got busy and converted it to wordpress in 2014. I had hopes I could recruit a team of volunteers who could help scour the web and we could add all the resources here. In 2018 I returned to fix up the site for a college project but unfortunately things got insanely busy.
Now that I’m doing daily livestreams a lot of people are asking for blind related resources and I remembered I have a site just for that exact reason. So, I’ll be going through and updating things on the back end, updating links, making better pages and adjusting the look.
I’ve already deleted 100K users, cleaned out 50K comments and changed up some security policies. There has been a bunch of scammers, bots and spammers attempting to sell me stuff, or try to hack the admin password. No one has brute forced the password and now you get 3 log in attempts before the account is locked.
You should know, I’ve disabled new user registration and if there comes a time where it’s needed will turn it back on.
