Welcome to the Assistive Technology Services of Maine blog. It is my hope that as the blog develops, it will become a fantastic resource of all things assistive technology related. Furthermore, the ability to post comments on postings should provide a great opportunity to facilitate discussion.

So, what is a blog anyway? I’ll explain what a blog is, but you may want to click here to read a more advanced definition of blogs and their various components. Basically, you can think of a blog as a journal. It consists of entries, otherwise known as posts that discuss something of interest to the blog author. In the case of this blog, I will write posts on a number of topics, also known as categories. New categories may be added at any time, so check back frequently. For now, I’ll start off by writing, or blogging about assistive technologies and my experiences with various software applications, etc… As a reader, you have the ability to comment on anything I post. Feel free to do this as your comments may be the basis for additional discussion i.e. someone else might comment on your comment, etc…. Also, just because I have a certain view point, or have had certain experiences, doesn’t mean you have to agree with me. In deed, posting comments is a great way to disagree with my views and to make the blog a more diverse resource. Coming soon, I will be creating some tutorials providing step-by-step instructions for posting comments, but for now, just give it a try — it’s easier than you think. Finally, blog entries are organized from newest to oldest, just keep that in mind as you read this blog. Also, if you find a specific category of particular interest, feel free to click that category to see all posts in that specific category. In short, I’d love to think you’ll read everything posted here, but by clicking specific categories, you can more easily read posts of interest to you.

Thanks again for visiting the Assistive Technology Services of Maine blog, welcome aboard.
