Consistent layout makes websites easier to navigate and understand as it helps users learn what elements to expect and in what order. This is especially helpful to low vision users or blind users using a screen reader. It also helps those with cognitive and learning disabilities.

Some frame accessibility around the fear of lawsuits. One problem is that this approach de-centers people with disabilities. Websites should be designed so people can use them. Designing a website just so it can pass a legal checklist violates the whole premise of accessibility.

You can do your part to support web accessibility by ensuring your photos posted to social media contain ALT tags!

Alternative text helps screen readers describe what is contained in a photo, assisting those who may not be able to see the content clearly.

I removed the "Share to Twitter/X" option from my blog posts this morning, because I'll have none of that, BUT sharing to Bluesky isn't built-in to my framework yet so I had to come up with an alternative:

This is a test! Sharing to Bluesky from my blog, with a very simple line of code in the URL!
