Bloomsburn is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all readers, regardless of ability or the technology used to access our site. We believe that everyone should be able to read, explore, and enjoy the independent blogs gathered here without unnecessary barriers.

Our goal is to make Bloomsburn accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, or alternative input devices.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

While perfect compliance is an ongoing process, we are committed to continuous improvement and regular testing to ensure our site meets or exceeds these standards.

Bloomsburn incorporates the following accessibility features:

• "Skip to content" functionality for keyboard users

Readability

• Readable font sizes with sufficient color contrast

• Text that can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality

• Content that remains readable and functional when zoomed

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment. Bloomsburn regularly:

• Reviews content for accessibility issues

• Tests with various assistive technologies

• Provides accessibility guidance to our independent blog contributors

• Updates our practices as standards evolve

• Conducts periodic audits of the site

Third-Party Content

Bloomsburn is a hub of independent blogs. While we encourage all contributors to follow accessibility best practices, individual blogs within our network are independently operated. Some older content or embedded third-party media may not yet meet our accessibility standards. We work with our contributors to improve this over time.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some pages or content types may present challenges:

• Some historical blog posts may lack image descriptions

• Certain embedded content from external platforms may have limited accessibility

• Third-party plugins or features used by individual blogs may not be fully accessible

If you encounter any accessibility barriers on Bloomsburn, please let us know.

Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility

Bloomsburn is designed to work with modern browsers and assistive technologies, including:

• Current versions of screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)

• Browser zoom and text resizing tools

• Keyboard-only navigation

• Speech recognition software

For the best experience, we recommend using current versions of browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge with your preferred assistive technologies.
