Jeff Chandler posted a link in the Post Status Slack yesterday leading to an article complaining about the underlined link requirement for WordPress themes. It’s an interesting read, and it makes some good points about what kinds of link decorations can pass the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and be fundamentally more interesting than an underline. If you read Nick Hamze’s article, I recommend doing it on a mobile device; the readability on desktop is more than a little bit iffy. […]| Joe Dolson Web Accessibility

Accessibility Show number eight was a fun one. For most shows, I’ve searched out specific sites that demonstrate particular problems so that we can demonstrate different ways that problem shows up in real sites.

So instead of carefully pre-selecting sites, I just grabbed the first ones in the list as I saw it at the time. It would have been nice […]| Joe Dolson Web Accessibility

The seventh episode of The Accessibility Show is now out! This one was an interesting change of pace. I was asked to take a look at the site for another of Nathan’s podcasts: The No Script Show, the brain child of David Waumsley. The premise for the No Script Show is fundamentally interesting to me. The show is about stripping away the baggage of page and site builders and working on the fundamentals of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS […]| Joe Dolson Web Accessibility

I released my first update version of Able Player today, along with the major update to the Able Player WordPress plugin. This isn’t a particularly ambitious release of Able Player, but it does resolve a lot of long-standing bugs, modernizes some of the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and cleans up a variety of issues in the package. I’ll be continuing with the practice of keeping the Able Player documentation in place on Github, so you can read the complete changelog […]| Joe Dolson Web Accessibility
