Late night getting caught up on WordPress Accessibility Day tasks. We have bank accounts, a Stripe account, and a functioning donation form again!

Joe Dolson, Bet Hannon, and I had to work through some logistics, but the event is officially a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status.

More on that coming soon.

The WordPress Accessibility Day videos are on YouTube, in 6 session chunks.

My “Overlays Underwhelm” talk is in there, cued up to my talk:

If you want to boost conversion in your webshop, don't use a slider. There are alternatives!

Great advice from Anne-Mieke @Bovelett@twitter.com for anyone tackling accessibility for the first time.

"Perfect is the enemy of good. When you are getting into accessibility now, and you learn there is so much to learn, do not be demotivated because of that." #WPAD2022 #WPA11yDay

I will have a blog post with some links, videos, and other media from the talk. But it all makes more sense if you watch the talk.

Remember, accessibility overlays are ineffective and often introduce more barriers. See me discuss at #WPA11yDay.
