Here is a reply I got when asking for some info on a counter on
http://www.thecounter.com. The information that the counter provides is
easy to use, however, a blind user can't see the stats from the web page
when visiting it. For those of you who don't know html and use something
like front page, this would be a simple counter to install. The web site
does all the html for you and places it in the web page at the bottom .
Check it out and see what you think. Maybe if enough of us get together, we
can get them to fix a text script for it. Send them a message at the email
addy in this letter and let's get them to realise just how many blind users
would enjoy getting this info
