I've outlined how I write alt-text for images. Hopefully the information is useful for other people who want to write alt-text but aren't sure what to write. vale.rocks/micros/20260... #a11y #AltText

I like to think I keep up with new #CSS features, but sometimes I overlook something fun. For example, improvements to text-stroke: tylersticka.com/journal/impr... #WebDesign #WebDev

Do I know any UK devs in a union? With the way the industry is going and my own beliefs I think it makes sense for me. Looking at Prospect or UTAW, if anyone has any experience either way? (or wants a referral bonus!)

I wrote a thing! Your CSS grid layout looks fine visually. But if you've used `order` or `grid-template-areas`, keyboard users might be tabbing through it in completely the wrong sequence. `reading-flow` fixes that - no JS, no ARIA hacks! dominickjay.com/writing/cont...
