How to Use Web Hosting Service
As you already find the suitable webhosting that meets your preferences and budget, you will be able to start your website building process. You can use the templates and tools that have been provided by the service that you use and start to build your website. Sometimes you are given complete tools to develop your website and sometimes you are not. Make sure that you get everything you need to develop your website when you choose your webhosting service. Some webhosting allows you free subscription for the initial year or two. Use this service to test whether you will run that hosting or not for your service. Cancelation of webhosting service is possible. You can also find references about the best shared or
best dedicated web hosting easily at webhosting review site to find the right one of your website development.

Easy Chirp
In cased you missed the news a few weeks ago, the web-accessible Twitter application "Accessible Twitter" changed its name to "Easy Chirp". Here's the original Web Overhauls press release. Nice to see the story made it to other PR and news sites including MyNewsDesk.com, PR.com, and Accessible Insights.
Reasons for the change are explained in the press release.
The name change is due to several reasons, the foremost is that the Twitter rules of use for third-party applications does not allow the word "Twitter" in the name of the application. Also, the word "easy" is simpler to understand than "accessible", especially to those not in the accessibility or disability communities. And, the new name is considerably shorter, especially important with the 140-character limit in Twitter statuses, better known as tweets.
The former Twitter name/handle caused a delay in the update of two application settings that could only be resolved by changing the name.
Earlier this year, Easy Chirp/Accessible Twitter received the American Foundation for the Blind 2011 Access Award.

IT Accessibility Goes To Camp
A guest blog by Jennison Asuncion.
June 1 marked the date of the second Accessibility Camp Guelph. Led again by Sean Yo, it took place in an appropriate spot for a barcamp-type event, The Bullring Pub at Guelph University (Ontario, Canada). As with the five other accessibility camps I have been involved in over the last two years, Accessibility Camp Guelph offered participants a no-cost opportunity to build and drive an agenda and conversations focused on IT accessibility/inclusion.
I have been asked why I so enthusiastically "instigate" and champion the accessibility barcamp/unconference movement. As I said during Accessibility Camp Seattle last month, I have a keen interest in making the topic of IT accessibility, accessible, to the people who have a hand in making it happen: from the devs, to the usability and UI design folks, and everyone in between. As I experienced attending the first accessibility camp in Washington D.C. in 2009, the barcamp/unconference format lends itself perfectly to this purpose. By its very nature, it calls for a free, less formal, open atmosphere where folks with varying levels of experience with and perspectives on accessibility, including end-users with disabilities, come together to chart the day, discuss and learn. If the numbers of attendees and feedback surveys are any indication, these dedicated accessibility camps are being well-received. What's more, they are building community (the tribe), and have inspired monthly Accessibility DC and Accessibility Baltimore meetings.
Plans are underway in 2011 so far for events in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, Washington D.C., and London UK. Want to learn more? Why not consider putting on an accessibility camp in your city. An accessibility camp website maintained by John F. Croston III is a good place to start.
