The drop down menus (Add, Tools, etc) that have been added in 2.8.1 do not work properly with screen readers.

It is possible to use dynamic elements on a page so that a screen reader can see them, and so that a blind user can navigate them, but the way that they have been implemented with this theme is not accessible.

Specifically, the elements are not read out.

Changing the formatting to the Classic Theme is distinctly different from the formatting in the default that were used in 2.7.

The CSS definitions for headings is off; the font size is dramatically smaller; the "recently updated" widget doesn't display in as nearly a friendly way.

Ideally this should include accessible coded java script with widget menu.

This means simply following good web development practices, such as:

• ensure content is placed in the DOM in document-semantic order
• use semantically relevant elements (e.g. <a> elements for navigation rather than spans)
• use alt tags, etc
