Do you want to be a part of DisabledPeople.org?  I think this site should be a real community affair.  So, do you want to get involved?

All contributions are welcome, from comments on here or our Facebook page to writing full articles (or a regular spot!).  If you want to do a little more than leave comments, then please get in touch and we’ll give you the site access you need.

Don’t forget, we’re always open to suggestions.  Whether it’s a site feature or an idea for a story, let us know!!

Contact me on:  Jamie(at)DisabledPeople.org or through the comments.

Disability Links

Please remember we have a Links Page on DisabledPeople. Hopefully this will provide some useful places to start looking for the information you need. Together though, we can make it much better.

There must be sites that you’ve saved/bookmarked/added as a favourite. Sites that deserve a second look or that you’ve shared with friends?

Maybe you’ve developed a site and want to share it with others?

If you want to add a site to the Links Page, the easiest way is to add a comment to the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can use the Contact-Us form to send a more private message.

I’d also love to know about sites that you think deserve more of a mention. Drop me a line telling us about the site and your own comments/review if you wish, then we can add an article.

Thanks for those comments we’ve received already. Keep them coming. The more feedback we get, the better this site should get!

Spam Policy

Please don’t try to spam this site. Links relevant to Disability will be added to the library. If you would like an unrelated site added, tell me why. If a site doesn’t appear relevant and has no note it will be deleted. Thanks!

I’ve made a few changes to the site navigation to try and make it easier to find the Accessible Places articles.  The section now has it’s own tab on the main navigation bar and I’ve added child catagories for England and Scotland (I don’t have any reviews for Wales yet – Want to write one?).  As the number of reviews increases, I will add in counties as well.

Want To Add Your Area

I would love to see reviews from as many places as possible.  I’m not even limiting this to the UK.  So if you would like to send me reviews of places where you stay or that you’ve been, I would be really pleased to add them to the site.

I think that this kind of participation encourages others to join in as well.  So if you send me your thoughts, you will be helping in more ways than one.  Of course, the more reviews we can feature, the more beneficial the site becomes to a wider audience of Disabled People.

Go On, Join In!!

I’ve been looking for ways of making it easy to add comments to this site.  I’ve added a Shoutbox to the sidebar as a bit of an experiment.  To make it work, you have to enter a name but that’s all.  You can write anything you like but please keep it polite!!  Let me know what you think!!

Remember, I need ideas for this site.

One or Two Changes

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks slowly bringing both this site and ELPsych! together.  I’ve tried to link them together by similar branding and appearance but still leave them as two separate sites.

The chap that wrote the theme I’ve used has done an amazing job of creating a very versatile platform that is both easy to use and (I hope) easy on the eye.  Today he increased the options further by introducing a “magazine” style template.  I’ve used some of the options this opens up on the ELPsych! homepage but there is plenty more to come!

Link Libraries

There is now a similarly styled Links Library on both sites.  Obviously the emphasis is different, ELPsych! concentrates on Mental Health and DisabledPeople.org concentrates on more Physical Illness and Disability.  I would love these Libraries to become interactive spaces that can be used to share places that have been particularly useful to you.  If you would like to see links in these Libraries, please don’t hesitate to send me the address and anything you want to say on the description line.  Either use the comments area on the Library page or the Contact Form.
