Hi Sarai, very sorry to hear about your job situation. Hopefully the ideas you have for your website/blog can help begin the next chapter of your career. There are many content management systems (CMS) out there, but the two with excellent accessibility support that are wisely used are Drupal and WordPress. This is one of those age-old discussions where some people strongly prefer one or the other, often based on what they learned first. Some time back, I did an FSCast on this stuff, and since accessibility questions relating to the web are, and should be screen reader agnostic, it might be worth a listen. I've administered Drupal and WordPress sites and I'd agree with Mark's WordPress recommendation. The WordPress community is thriving, it's pretty intuitive to use and there's a lot of power in the platform. The iOS app is pretty cool and you can get push notifications when someone leaves comments etc. If you're selling things, many options exist for integrating with Pay Pal. The Mosen Consulting, Appcessible and Mosen Explosion sites all do slightly different things, but they're all WordPress based. The three of them show a range of scenarios in which you might use it, from e-commerce to multimedia. A lot of blind people are working with WordPress, so there's plenty of support. If you are looking for ways to monetise your blog/site, then you'll want a domain name and probably want a full self-hosted solution, so you have as much control as possible. I'm presently using shared hosting with a company called DreamHost. They just switched to solid state storage for all the drives in their shared hosting system, which has made a discernible speed difference. Shared hosting is a cheap way of getting up and running, and you can always migrate to more expensive, robust solutions later. For example when I ran Mushroom FM, we ran a dedicated server because of the insane bandwidth and resources we were using. Best of luck with what comes next for you.
