Web Site Update

October 8, 2008: It has been a couple of years since we last updated the look of our site, and this time, we decided to make some changes under the hood as well. With help from the people at Six Apart, we’ve moved the site over to the Typepad blog engine.  This should make it easier for us to keep you up to date with the latest news and information about what we’re up to at World Access for the Blind.  Please let us know what you think!
