accessible web-authoring system

I don't understand the question.

Is the OP looking for a web-authoring software that can be operated by
a blind person, or is he looking for a web authoring software that
produces web pages readable by blind people?

Either way, I have a feeling Bluefish might be a good way to go. I
imagine the text you type could be read by a screen reader. I'm less
sure whether the little helpful popups with tag syntax could be read by
a screen reader.

I've been using Bluefish about 5 years, ever since my last WYSIWYG HTML
authoring tool went bad. I'd never go back to WYSIWYG because now I'm
in charge of my HTML, I make clean HTML, and I even check that it's
well formed XML before putting it on the web. My stuff renders pretty
much the same on all full featured browsers. As I remember, every time
I put in an <img> tag, Bluefish asks me for an alt property.

HTH,
