Hallo Joe, Thank for your interesting AcessiBlog site. Do you want to link also articles in other languages as German, French and Dutch? I am Dutch but get every day also German and French papers as email and their special editions about internet . I mean important international papers as the German "Die Zeit" and the French "Le Monde" and "Liberation".
