6 Quick and Easy Accessibility Issues That Make Your Visitors Happy
| |
| As more and more users gain access to the web it becomes increasingly important to ensure that your website is accessible to all, not just a few. Just as businesses must comply with the American Disabilities Act to ensure proper access to customers with disabilities, businesses should do all they can to make their websites accessible to all users regardless of the means in which they access the site.
And of course not all accessibility issues involve meeting the needs of the disabled. What must be considered is the growing number of users that now access websites through non-traditional means, whether it be mobile phones or with images turned off. These users can still be your target audience and ensuring your site can be used through alternate avenues is essential to capturing that audience.

Why Play Isn’t Just For Children
| |
| Do you like to play? Do you even remember the last time you really played?
For many of us, we're just too busy in the whirlwind of working, buying, raising a family, traveling, running errands and other busy tasks that adults do. We often see playing as something that only children do. However, if you study the most successful people on the planet, you see that they include a healthy dose of play into their lives.
Play acts as a stress release, helps people be creative, learn to work together and much more. Just like children, adults need to play. Find out the benefits of play and how to incorporate more fun into your days. |

Spontaneity
| |
| Adults with ADHD believe that they like to be spontaneous and creative. That is why habits are hard for them. However, I have found that when day-to-day tasks become habits, adults with ADHD thrive and there is more mental space and time to be creative. |

Pew Survey indicates that blogging has lost its lustre, but do you agree?
| |
| Earlier this week I received an e-mail from a fellow host on the Blog Talk Radio Network in which the link to a February 21st article in the Music Industry News Network titled "Social Media and Young Adults" was included.
The article made reference to “Two Pew Internet Project surveys,” that revealed a noticeable “decline in blogging among teens and young adults,” and a “modest rise among adults 30 and older.”
My associate thought that I would find this interesting in that besides posting between 2 to 4 articles on 4 (and soon to be 6) blogs each week, she was interested in getting my take on these findings as I have been a strong proponent of the important synergy between maintaining a blog in conjunction with one’s BTR show.

Heroines
| |
| We love our moms. Especially as adults, and especially as parents ourselves. It wasn’t until I became a parent that I ‘got’ what my mom must have gone through with me. We’re so narcissistic as children and young adults it’s difficult to get perspective, or to understand the courage it takes to raise children.

| Beyond traditional schooling, which emerging adults have often moved on from, what skills will most place the emerging adult on their fruitful pathway? If prospective emerging adults are interpersonally effective and operationally excellent no matter where their path of exploration leads them, they are more likely to find best fit careers and jobs, and companies will more likely benefit by their discretionary effort. |

The Power of Decision
| |
| Patrick Hughes was born blind and crippled, but when someone asks about his disabilities he says, "What disabilities? I'd call them abilities." Instead of focusing his life on areas in which he is disadvantaged, he has exerted all his effort into his talents and passions. He is an amazing pianist! It all started with Patrick making a decision to focus on what he does well. What can we learn from people like Patrick? What do successful people have in common? |
