A lot of people on the braillenote list have been talking about
having problems signing in to gmail with there braillenotes. This
inspired me to find a way around the problem and do a podcast and
article about it. Some people like a podcast so they can listen
and follow along. Some others like a written copy they can read.
So I have done it both ways. It took a lot of playing around, but
I found a way to get in to gmail. This is how you sign in to
gmail. One of the steps requires a modified html page which you
load in to keyweb. I can send you the page if you want it. This
is what you have to do to sign in to gmail. There are 3 steps.
The steps work with scripting on or off. Step 1. go to gmail.com.
Just put in your password and click the sign in button. Don't
worry about your username at this step. Step 2. go to the
modified html page which you can store on any drive or folder.
Type your username and password and click the sign in button.
Step 3. You will be taken to a page where it will ask you for
your password again. You just type the password and don't worry
about the username. Then click the sign in button. After that,
you should be in your account. If you get a message saying `Your
browser's cookie functionality is turned off, please turn it on`,
Then it probably means that you did one of the steps wrong, you
did one of the steps in the wrong order or you missed a step. If
this happens, clear your cookies and delete your temporary
internet files and start again from step 1. I hope you found this
article and the podcast useful. If you have any questions or
comments about this article or if you would like a copy of this
article, the podcast or the modified html page, you can email me
