We have the LexDis blog that our students and many others have used over the years for adding technology hints and tips.  It was originally funded by JISC and when people fill in the 'add a strategy' form I update it all with images etc.  https://www.lexdis.org.uk/
 
This site uses an accessible WordPress template along with ATbar (https://www.atbar.org/ ) so that people can use text to speech and coloured overlays etc.  It is all open source and free.  Please do use it or grab the code etc.   
 
Your students would be welcome to collaborate with us to make posts on the site as well.  They may want a page under a separate menu if that makes life easier for you as we could give them access and set it up very easily.
 
Best wishes
E.A.

Hi Gemma,
 
You might be interested in having a look at this post from Jim Byrne who has done a lot of work on WP accessibility.  He recently spoke at the Accessibility Scotland event and focused on accessible WP.
 
Cheers,

Subject: Blogging - accessable wordpress themes?
 
Dear all,
 
This year we're employing a number of student Digital Champions who are going to write a technology focused study skills blog. As well as blogging about AT their posts will also explore the free and low cost apps student can use. The blog is going to be hosted on Wordpress and we were wondering if anyone had any recommendations for accessable themes (either free or premium) that we could explore?
 
Thanks,
 
Gemma
