- JISC TechDis accessibility of blogs and wikis
"There are so many different tools for producing blogs and wikis that it would be impossible to assess the accessibility of each one. In general, both a Blog and a Wiki are HTML based, therefore a number of the issues about creating accessible websites would also apply. Every tool has its own specific way of working, some restrict what you are able to do quite tightly and others which give you the freedom to add content in whatever way you require. A system which enables you to edit the HTML of posts and content is more likely to adaptable enough to allow accessible content."
