Accessibility Widget Revived!
(updated 12-Mar-2007)
Download WordPress Accessibility Widget v.0.9
YES! Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I did say I would make my own widget if I couldn’t find it, and here it is, the long-lost Accessibility Widget originally written by Tane of Digital Spaghetti and revived by yours truly. I’ve been getting hits from people who are looking for this widget since I posted my desire to get one on my site. I’m currently waiting for Tane to respond to my request. There must be a reason why he stopped sharing it in the first place, so till then, I’ll hold on to the download link until he gives me an OK sign.
In the meantime, take a look at the top of my sidebar and get crazy. It’s decent, but I tell you, it’s not 100% perfect. I certainly do not have the original codes that Tane developed and I’m sure he did more customization on it that I’ve yet to know of. It’s fun, though. When I’m done with properly widgetizing the Top Commentators plugin, I’ll move on to improving this one.
(Update 12-Mar-07) The widget is now available for download, since I’ve received several e-mail requests for it. No customization can be done with it as of yet, but I’ll start to tinker it next month when I’m done with the Top Commentators Widget. I plan to match all the things that can be done with the previous Accessibility Widget, with the original Readme file as my reference.
Sorry, Tane, but I can’t wait for your reply, but thanks again for creating this widget.
Making your site more accessible with a simple widget, just like the domain name registration sites do with language selection options. Never alienate your readers again by using a simple to use, easy to integrate into any web design: accessibility widget. Take in more hits and boost traffic enough to think about ordering dedicated servers from one of those cheap web hosting providers.

And ??? are you going to share it ?
Tane hasn’t gotten back to me yet, Robbert. But I will share it out pretty in a week’s time if there’s still no news.
thanks for reviving this great widget. I installed it in a test site
http://kitkaplan.com/onespirit/
but the only thing that gets bigger in my theme is the links. Is this because of the theme specs? Got any idea how to adjust?
Wow. I’ve checked out your test site, Kit. Based on my limited knowledge of CSS there’s nothing wrong with your stylesheets other than the fact that your styles do not have any font-size settings for default HTML tags, i.e. body, a, li, p, td … etc. Most if not all of the font-size settings were within class selectors (.small h1) or ID selectors (eg. #credits).
Honestly, adding font-size setting may or may not help, but there’s no harm in trying. I just wished I know more about CSS to solve your problem. Let me know how it goes.
I love the WordPress Accessibility Widget v.0.9 , just what I was looking for. However It is resizing all the text on the page rather than just the text in the posts. Is there anyway I can change this so it only changes the posts? Thanks so much for yur help!
