I recently spent two hours teaching a blind writer to set up a WordPress.com website from scratch. She used the Jaws screen reader and only ran into a few easily overcome editing problems, for which Graham has reassured me there are fixes scheduled.
How difficult, impossible perhaps, this would have been with the tools available to us just a few years ago.
