In today's WordPress Accessibility meetup, Gen Herres of Anphira describes telling clients:

1. Putting text over images is not allowed.

2. Carousels or sliders are not allowed.

3. If you want a fancy font, you've got to try reading a bunch of unfamiliar text in the font first.

I'm ready to vote Gen ruler of the Web.

#WPA11yMeetup #accessibility

Loving Gen Herres's #WPA11yMeetup presentation today! Fabulous information on how to translate WCAG guidelines into understandable information for clients, copywriters, and designers who are non-technical or not trained in accessibility.

She also has created helpful tools for choosing text or colors. Check them out at https://easya11yguide.com

Read and comment on my proposal to make events from topic-based meetups (like WordPress Accessibility Meetup) visible in the #WordPress admin Events and News dashboard widget worldwide (rather than only showing them in a small radius around San Francisco).

Getting the #WPA11yMeetup events to show in everyone's WordPress dashboard is an import step to increasing accessibility awareness and getting more people to think about #a11y. I hope you'll support this proposal.

"If it's not accessible, it's broken."
- Steve Jones, CTO at Equalize Digital, sharing his development motto at #WPA11yMeetup #a11y #webdev

I just got a sneak peek of
Steve Jones' slides for tomorrow's #WPA11yMeetup on coding accessible nav menus, and it's going to be great. Repurposable code and real-world examples.

#developers: Join us at 10 AM central via Zoom to learn how to make your nav menus #a11y compliant.

The meetup will be live captioned and qualifies for IAAP continuing ed credits.
