"How do you navigate by headers?" This is what I got asked the other day by a client, so I showed them how to use the accessibility rotor and navigate a page jumping from header to header.
Do you use this kind of header navigation? Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=syk7...

💬 “Use HTML.”
– Says Lindsay, the accessibility-aware design and developer whisperer
Why HTML? Because HTML already has accessibility baked in.

Digital accessibility testers - I need your help!

WCAG 1.4.4 Resize text - the guidance is to have the display set to 1280 pixels wide at 100% scaling.

Does the display pixel height matter? Choices are 1024, 960, 800, 768, 720, and 600.

Thank you.

Digital accessibility testers - I need your help! WCAG criteria 1.4.4 Resize text - the guidance is to have the display set to 1280 pixels wide at 100% scaling. Then set the browser to 200%. My question - does the display setting pixel height matter? I have a choice of 1024, 960, 800, 768, 720, and 600. I've always used 1024, but perhaps there's a more suitable height. For comparison, Criteria 1.4.10 Reflow provides guidance that the display should be set to 1280 by 1024 pixels at 100% scaling.

This thread has basics on how to use alt-text. But what is a good alt-text? Another topic for #AccessibilityTips. Sidenotes: Don't use them as SEO keyword list.

(It also needs more evidence whether unfortunately Meta apps suppress content with actual alt-text by many people's experience.)

Quick tips 101 for More Accessible Communications online:

1. Use alt-text on images and videos.

Some apps make it a bit hard to find, but it's usually at the "More options" if nowhere else. Here on BlueSky you can make the platform prompt you to add one from your account settings. See pics. 1/
Screenshot of settings tab on BlueSky. The settings' options are listed vertically. The option "Accessibility" is highlighted. It is the seventh row from the top. Screenshot of the content of the Accessibility settings. First one is about ALT-text. On the first toggle option you can turn on requirement to add ALT-text before posting. The second one gives you option to make the ALT-text tags bigger on other's pictures and videos. The second topic is about disabling haptic feedback.

Then the next thing: hashtags and separating words with a Capital Letter.

Screenreaders often just blurt out the letters, making the rest of the hashtag just alphabet gurgle.

Write each starting word with a big letter: eg. #AccessibilityTips.

(Some remember the Icelandic Pizza Album Party.)
