Hey, I'm 72. Give me a break! Rueful blush. My problem is, I can't remember where I've pledged support, where I haven't, and where I've pledged multiple times as between logic.band, theblindlogic.pro, discord, you tube, and substack. Blink. Scratching head. Am I forgetting anything?
So, how exactly do I check my member status? And if you wouldn't mind, your how many dollars for joining this and that is VERY confusing. Do I have to join everything and pay everything to get everything, or do some of those dollar amounts cover more than one thing? Would you mind checking my member statuses?Your pledge section is not clear at all, unless you changed it very recently? waggling eyebrows inquiringly
The only place to be a member is Youtube. I purposely have not Instanciated memberships anywhere else to minimize confusion. Youtube membership is a tiered system each tier up includes everything in the lower tiers. So if you have the Highest cost of the 3 Youtube membership tiers then you will have access to all bonus content. The Youtube membership page has an explainer on all 3 tiers. The lowest being a way to show support, the second tier is for a collection of one off in depth tutorials, and the third is a collection of courses that will grow over time. At the moment payments on substack is disabled, however Chances are if I enable substack payments it will be to show your support similar to the least expensive Youtube tier, and not in exchange for any bonus content. Of course one on one training is still a thing as well.
yeah i saw that you could only paste HTML, good to know # still works for headings though. Hopefully this means they will implement more mark down in the future.
I get different results depending on how I do things. I've tried Chrome on PC and Mac and Safari on Mac. So far, Chrome on PC gives best overall results. I've tried making VoiceOver and JAWS labels, but haven't made a point of systematically testing those. On Mac I can pick the section I want posts to go in when I get into the Publish dialog, but not the edit page. It is a good idea to keep a list of URLs for the various parts of your Substack and paste them into your address bar, rather than muck around too much in the interface. That's faster.
Interesting, i am able to choose a section both from the edit page and publish dialog everytime. I will say things tend to read better in Chrome yes, however, I have kind of gotten use to the way Safari reads stuff that it doesn't throw me off like it used to when i first started setting stuff up. When you hit the menu to choose. a section or a lot of the other drop down menus like that on the substack site, try using just the down/up arrows and return instead of VO Up/Down and VO Space. Also I tend to use item chooser to jump around the page decently quickly as well. Overall i do like how clean the editor is. Once again when you are on say the edit field to write your post, just start writing and use up/down arrows to read through it. Left/Right arrows to read by character, Option left/right to read by word and command up/down or left/right to jump to the start and end of a line or document respectively. If you don't interact you can then just use VO Left/Right when you want to navigate to other sections of the page. Now if they would just support mark down in the editor ...
I love it. I tried to subscribe, but I don't think it will let me until there are posts in those sections. Any Substack tips, pass 'em along and I will also. So far I like the platform. It has a few accessibility issues, but it's the most accessible email list I've tried.
Click on "subscriptions" and Find any post from TheBlindLogicPro and click it. Then look for a button that says "subscribed". Click that, then under "Notifications", the third level 4 heading, you'll see the different sections of the newsletter. You can then toggle on/off those sections. Some of course are on by default but in this case Daily Accountability and Member's Area Tutorials are off, so just switch them to on.
Hope this helps. Took me a minute to figure it out LOL. It would have been faster to subscribe when not logged in, but I knew there had to be a way. :P
Thanks! I am liking Substack so far. Mostly just found unlabelled buttons on post as the biggest annoyances accessibility wise so far. What issues have you ran into?
The different newsletters are linked on the navigational bar when you visit the page as well, and with any luck I'll be adding to those sections soon.

YOU CAN USE POUND SIGNS TO MAKE HEADINGS. YOU CAN'T PASTE MARKDOWN.

I had this issue too, it only happens when logged in. Here's what to do:
Go to substack.com/settings
Click on "subscriptions" and Find any post from TheBlindLogicPro and click it. Then look for a button that says "subscribed". Click that, then under "Notifications", the third level 4 heading, you'll see the different sections of the newsletter. You can then toggle on/off those sections.
