Like many things on Facebook, the page changes when you click on the
appropriate link or button. I use Window-Eyes with Firefox; Internet
Explorer presents a lot of extra junk that is empty. I use the regular, not
mobile, version of the site.
After I log in, near the top of my homepage is a heading called Groups.
Press Enter on that. You get a list of the groups you currently belong to,
if any.
I next used the Search button and typed in "blind amateur radio operators".
The group did not come up as a search result; instead there were a few links
such as NU7I. But I noticed that under the search button there was another
link called "Groups". I entered on that, and the new group appeared.
Facebook is a challenge, but it is fun. I especially am friends with many
members of my church, plus some relatives and some blind people. Not very
many hams so far among my 150 plus friends. All I can say is that it's a
lot of friends for someone who is really an introvert!
