This is not an endorsement (or not) for blogs that rely on JS, but apparently 98.6% of screenreader users have javascript enabled.[0]

Doesn't mean that it's makes for a pleasant or useful experience. Viz http://hanselminutes.com/413/im-a-blind-software-technician-... from a sibling comment of yours.

Also, I'm surprised I got downvoted for saying that we should be considering the disabled when making decisions on how to structure a blog. I know accessibility isn't _cool_ but it's the right thing to do, especially for a text-based site, like a blog.

(PS: mendelk, I'm not accusing you of downvoting me)
