If you share images of what to do during a weather-related emergency, share that advice with blind and low-vision users, too. Add alt text. The alt text should include the text in the image, rather than just a vague description, so people aren't missing out on vital information.

It would be harder if they didn’t lock into place. I see that you can change some of the settings to make it harder… I’m reminded that this is how Wordle started off…

Did you know each emoji has a coded description that gets read aloud by screen readers? This demo by Alexa Heinrich shows what happens when a screen reader encounters a post that uses an emoji to function as a bullet point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSMs...

Yes! And conversely, you can make the headings any size font you want. First apply the headings in the correct semantic nested order. Then if you want to make the H3’s on this page bigger than H3’s on other pages, that’s fine.

If your WCAG testing is only axe / ARC / WAVE / EAAC, not only are you only testing ~30% of WCAG, but my own 2023 testing shows they catch <15% of issues: adrianroselli.com/2023/01/comp... Manual testing is still a thing. Especially if bumping into `<canvas>`. #accessibility #a11y

Make sure that interactive elements that can be accessed by using a mouse, pen, trackpad or touch are at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels. This helps people with low vision and/or limited motor control select the intended element without accidentally selecting nearby elements.

PDF tags provide a hidden, structured representation of PDF content that is presented to screen readers. Not all applications support good PDF tag structure, but InDesign, Word, and PowerPoint can. WebAIM has more information on preserving these tags. webaim.org/techniques/a...

A few tips for making BlueSky a more accessible place. Please add alt text to images. Yes, this is the one everyone kind of knows about, but worth flagging. By all means add some extra context or jokes to it and be creative but please put the actual image description at the beginning. 1/3

As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎

I’d say a good panel moderator might have at least email conversations with some of the panelists ahead of time. Have an idea of what they can contribute and where to direct certain topics?

Bet Hannon @bethannon.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Here are some ideas: 1) they try to make sure every panel member speaks about an equal amount of time; 2) they come prepared with some ideas of a general direction for the conversation; 3) they come prepared with good questions to accomplish the guiding of the conversation.

You have to be f'ing kidding... Wix requires at least a $36/mo account to use a domain you have registered elsewhere -- even if you are using Wix nameservers? Migrated a client's domain in prep for a launch in a few weeks without knowing this weird requirement. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Minimizing cognitive load absolutely helps people with cognitive disabilities, but also many of the rest of us who are distracted and tired most of the time. Accessibility improvements almost always improve user experience FOR EVERYONE!

Don't use color alone to convey information. Marking required fields by only using colored labels won't help people who use screen readers or who can't distinguish colors. If using color, also add text like asterisks and/or "required." www.w3.org/WAI/tips/des...
