I just registered for #WPA11yDay, a free, virtual 24-hour conference on WordPress accessibility taking place October 9th and 10th, and you should too! Get your free ticket at 2024.wpaccessibility.day/register #WPAD2024 #WordPress #a11y

Working in a #WordPress site that needs some data tables that are easy for client to update. What's the best plugin that gives a good responsive display but also has good #accessibility? Ps: site uses #Gutenberg editor. Thanks.

@joedolson @RianRietveld Thanks Joe. Hope you are well.

@coolfields @RianRietveld The live stream is still available: youtube.com/live/ofh6jLrXn…

@RianRietveld Hi Rian, hope you're well. Your #a11y talk at WCEU got a specific positive mention from someone at #WPLDN this evening. Of course now I want to see it. Is the video available somewhere yet?

@RianRietveld Getting definite FOMO as I see you're speaking at Witley Bay this year, and I can't go.... 8-(

@RianRietveld Oh I see it's on YouTube. 🙂

@TheFigen_ Guitar picks. Obviously.

Does anyone know what the little jeans pocket is for?

Back at #WPLDN again this evening for the first time in ages. There's a good turnout and good vibe. #London #WordPress @wpldn

Two years ago I raised a bug on #Firefox around use of #HTML input type="date". When calendar is open the font size won't change if user zooms or does text resize. So #accessibility is difficult for those with poor vision. How can we get this progressed? bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?i…

@NVAccess Thanks I will do that soon. Need to retest on less busy day.

@coolfields I'm not aware of any issues with Speech Viewer. In 2024.1 we changed the behaviour so it wonn't report what the mouse hovers over WHILE over speech viewer itself. If you can please list the steps to reproduce the issue you are facing, I'd be happy to test it.

I run web #accessibility training courses for devs and often demo things with #NVDA screen reader. In the latest version Speech Viewer has become very patchy and often stops working. Have other #a11y people experienced this, or is it just me? /cc @NVAccess

Hi @yoast. I'm going to use the <details> and <summary> elements in a page - it's the native HTML accordion. But I'm wondering if the content in the <details> section that would not initially be visible on the page actually gets noticed and indexed by search engines? Do you know?

@danmaby Flat Iron is closed. So we're in a bar called Carrubo in Southwark Quarter - on Southwark Street close to Southwark Bridge Road.

Louise from @IndigoTreeSays starting her #WPLDN presentation on the impact of your #WordPress website.

@keithdevon Indeed Keith, it'd be great to see you again. 🙂

@coolfields Hope to see you there sometime soon!

First time at #WPLDN in ages. So good to be back amongst friends and business contacts. #WordPress #WordPressDevelopment wpldn.uk

@RianRietveld @WordCampNL Hi Rian, hope it goes/went well.

Verkoop je producten of diensten online? Dan wil je vast meer weten over de komende wetgeving voor webtoegankelijkheid. Kom naar mijn workshop op @WordCampNL in Burgers Zoo vanmiddag. Ik leg je uit wat voor jou of je klanten belangrijk is. #WCNL #a11y 🦒🐘

Just come across this takedown of the #accessibility of the new Threads app. It's from a few weeks ago, has anything improved since then? #a11y #Threads #fails abilitynet.org.uk/news-blogs/new…

Hey @tnash it was good to see your name in my inbox again, and glad your newsletter is back. I read with interest your post entitled Humans Get Hit By Buses, and I can vouch that it does happen. Fortunately I'm OK these days 🙂 Hope Athens goes well. timnash.co.uk/humans-get-hit…

For the sake of our health and the planet, we need to end the age of plastic. @theresecoffey please watch this video & help secure a strong Global Plastics Treaty at the #INC2 negotiations next week! #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticsTreaty
