Way back when 259 was added three years ago, it began its life as an image placeholders FAQ, but then morphed into an Unusual Connections FAQ that includes three disparate issues: mobile connections (small screen size and maybe low bandwidth), dial-up connections (low bandwidth only), and accessibility (a whole bunch of different things that may or

I've only ever referenced this FAQ for styles (and sometimes slow-connection) requests for people viewing their journal from a computer. I'd be more inclined to split it into "what features can help me view LJ on a mobile device" which would link to one FAQ with the second two sections (bandwidth/accessibility) because those seem too intertwined for me.

I haven't spent a enough time browsing LJ with a screenreader to have any good suggestions for what works, but unless someone is planning on putting work into testing or documenting what is actually more accessible for a screenreader (perhaps spelled-out links in the FAQ to specific URLs to manage friends, update journal, etc. ? I wouldn't want to speculate without poking around more) I'd rather have a combined FAQ that includes accessibility than a nearly-empty one.

On a related note - Should the mobile section be updated to include the new mobile interface, or is it still too much under construction? http://community.livejournal.com/feedback/15044.html Because http://m.livejournal.com is OMGtiny in a normal browser window, so I wouldn't recommend it for dialup users like /mobile is now.

Re accessibility, we do have http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=536026 (although it's old) and some bits in http://community.livejournal.com/lj_style/327262.html. Also, we could probably solicit feedback from Dreamwidth's accessibility team; I'm sure they'd be happy to say what helps and what doesn't.

m.livejournal.com should definitely be documented somewhere, even if it is under construction. Good point!
