Just thought I'd alert folks to a slight issue when adding badges and facebook profile widgets

This forum is primarily for reporting issues about Web Accessibility such as difficulty using mojoPortal with a screen reader or other assistive technology.

Post any feedback here related to improving the accessibility or usability of mojoPortal. As stated in our Accessibility documentation, it is an important goal of the project that both the front-end customer experience and the back end administration and content publishing features be accessible to as many people as possible. Ideally, if you post about problems, we will also be glad to have suggestions on how the problems can be fixed but all constructive feedback on these issues is welcome.

Just thought I'd alert folks to a slight issue when adding badges and facebook profile widgets

Thankfully this issue has nothing to do with Mojo Portal itself (I've not seen a screen reader accessibility issue in a long time), but it does effect the way a visually impaired or blind admin can use mojo Portal.  Upon following the documentation for adding facebook profile widgets to your site, I went to try and add a badge (I picked the page badge option because it's info from that page I want my viewers to see, not my personal profile), and if a screen reader is looking for the options of where to put the badge, I'm sorry to say, but it won't find them.  Chances are that it's some kind of image or something like that that screen readers cannot see.  So if screen reader users are trying to do that, the only alternate I can think of is for them to use sighted assistance.
