Cozy Night and Day
This entry shares the current theme for the Cozy-Cloud website, which works with Bludit CMS. It is made to be very light weight so that those with limited connection and unstable internet networks can still access the site. The theme also utilizes tags/code to activate Screen Readers and which make the information of the website much more accessible to those who use assistive tools to view online media.
This website and theme make room to bring together the work of the Cozy-Cloud by offering up lightweight and accessible introductions to each work and infrastructure. It is also a move towards building up the capacities of the Cozy-Cloud so that it can be accessible to more collaborations and exchanges through this more accessible CMS.

Screen Reader Code
This entry shares the HTML syntax and tags that make the content of the page accessible to screen readers. There is more to making this theme and the websites content more accessible, but this is the main improvement/learning from this iteration.
