We’ve just published a new Lioncourt.com editorial. In "Don’t Panic: Your First Trip to the Apple Store", Josh de Lioncourt provides the basics to get you up to speed with the Mac and VoiceOver before you take your first trip to an Apple Store. The article can be applied to any first-time Mac experience for a blind or visually impaired computer user. Enjoy!

If you find Lioncourt.com a useful resource and would like to help support the site, there are a couple of ways you can do so. You can make a donation by clicking the "Donate" button at the top of most pages, or you can shop for Apple and related products in our new Mac-cessibility Shop. We’ve teamed up with Amazon.com to bring you Macs, iPods, and accessories. We will be adding items to the shop regularly, so check back often.

As always, your support helps keep this site going as we try to provide a comprehensive resource for Macintosh computing for the blind and visually impaired. Thank you for your support.

Keith Reedy has provided two new entries to our Guides & Tutorials section. Learn how to use multiple tracks in "GarageBand with VoiceOver 2" or how to use special effects in "GarageBand with VoiceOver 3". If you haven’t already done so, start with general usage of GarageBand in "GarageBand with VoiceOver 1".

Thanks again to Keith Reedy for these guides.

We’re pleased to announce another entry to our Guides & Tutorials section. This time, Lioncourt.com contributor Cara Quinn describes some tricks for controlling streaming media in Safari from the keyboard, a great trick for VoiceOver users. Check it out!
