	<title>My Web My Way relaunch: more accessibility information</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; "><a title="Click to read more on the BBC Internet blog" href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/accessibility/"><img alt="Illustration from the BBC's My Web My Way web site." src="https://meleleh.pages.dev/blogs/aboutthebbc/images/myweb.jpg" width="600" height="317" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /></a><p style="width:600px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div><p><p><em>Editor's note: information about what's new on the relaunched accessibility pages <a href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/blogs/bbcinternet/2011/04/my_web_my_way_relaunch_more_ac.html">on the BBC Internet blog</a> - SB.</em><p>If you've visited the <a href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/accessibility/">My Web My Way accessibility pages</a> on BBC Online during the last few months you'll have seen a promo inviting users to preview a new version of the site.</p><p>This version revealed the beginnings of a more detailed and user-friendly <a href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/accessibility/">My Web My Way</a>, which I'm delighted to say has just launched in full.</p><p>My Web My Way is designed to educate audiences with accessibility needs about how to get the best out of the web - not just BBC Online - by using personalisation features in their browsers or operating systems, or using assistive technologies like screenreaders.</p><p>It's estimated that around <a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-04/20/bbc-data-accessibility">11 million adults have a form of disability</a> and that this group tends towards 'heavy' media consumption - increasingly online. The sixth of the BBC's <a href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/aboutthebbc/purpose/public_purposes/">public purposes</a> is to deliver the benefits of technology to the public, and this public must be as wide as possible.  Because of this we've invested time in updating our accessibility information for the benefit of users with impairments - whether visual, hearing-related, motor-related or cognitive.  Of course there are other providers of this kind of information, but to many the BBC is a trusted guide to the web.</p><p>So - what's changed?</p><p><em>Read the rest of Jonathan Hassell's blog post and leave a comment <a href="https://meleleh.pages.dev/blogs/bbcinternet/2011/04/my_web_my_way_relaunch_more_ac.html">on the BBC Internet blog...</em></a></p>]]></description>
