Web Accessibility with Cynthia Shelly

Posted By: Joshua Allen | May 8th @ 1:07 PM

Cynthia Shelly has worked with web accessibility both inside Microsoft and with our partners. She currently works in the Accessible Business Unit; the team who bring you the accessibility center on MSDN, among other things.

Cynthia recently joined me in the MIX Online studios to discuss her work with web accessibility at Microsoft; from common issues and problems she has seen in Microsoft web sites as well as external sites, to her work as part of the Windows Live Writer team. Live Writer was a fascinating example, since it's a tool which allows people to create accessible web content, which itself is accessible -- attention to both sides of the equation that is often overlooked.
