🥚 Happy chocolate egg day!

It's Easter Sunday so for a lot of people that means one thing: chocolate! This morning, the kids on my street were out in numbers to hunt the eggs that the easter bunny left in all the gardens. To save you the search, here's the article I wrote for you earlier in the month: Alt text for CSS generated content

From the archives

From the very recent archives, a subject that comes up time and again with people who are new to screen reader testing: the tab key. Three things:

  • Most desktop-based screen reader users use the keyboard
  • The majority of screen reader users are blind
  • Screen reader users don't tend to use the tab key very much

Screen reader users and the tab key.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs from around the web that I read during March:

  • Jakob Nielsen’s Bad Ideas about Accessibility
  • An HTML Switch Control
  • Subtitles, Closed Captions, and Open Captions: What's the Difference?
  • A letter to my younger self, as an accessibility advocate
  • Web accessibility survey
  • On popover accessibility: what the browser does and doesn’t do

Anyway, I'm off to find out how much chocolate I can eat before I throw up; catch you again this time next month! 🍫🍫🍫
