Read Meet accessiBe – Israeli Startup for Web Accessibility by Osher Deri

Check out how a startup is using artificial intelligence to help businesses make websites accessible on complete autopilot. With $12 million funding, it
is all set to help businesses and disables globally.

Oh look! The folks behind #AccessiBe are paying for praise again.

Lifnei Iver comes to mind, which in an incredibly ironic twist is extended beyond its literal meaning to be interpreted by the Sages as misleading people, among other things.

And if you have to pay for praise, you know you’re intentionally misleading your users.

So I ordered some swag this morning, and I’d like to say that I am getting better order status notifications from a home-grown free plugin (WooCommerce) plus probably a low-cost solution for the shipping part than I get from either Amazon or the postal service. This is awesome.

Read Hello WordPress, My Old Friend by Chris Wiegman

Hello WordPress, My Old Friend
After just over a year on Hugo I’ve migrated this site back to WordPress.
It wasn’t an easy decision to do so. The truth is, I really liked the workflow I had been using for Hugo and the platform itself was nearly perfect for my uses. That said, technology alone wa…

Welcome back Chris! We’re glad to have you.

There are things I like about Hugo but I have so many posts on either of my sites that just looking at the post/taxonomy management aspect alone was enough to make me reconsider the decision to switch before I started the work.

Watched Update on Gutenberg accessibility audit by Joe Dolson from WP Campus

In late 2018, WPCampus released a
request for proposals
to conduct an accessibility audit of the WordPress Gutenberg editor. 
The vendor was selected,
and a fundraising goal of $31,200 was met. On April 29, 2019,
Tenon LLC
provided the final audit report to WPCampus. On May 1, 2019, 
WPCampus publicly shared the report documents.
What happened over the next year? Did any accessibility changes come to WordPress and the editor because of the audit?
Join Joe Dolson, a WordPress Accessibility team lead, as he shares outcomes of the WPCampus Gutenberg accessibility audit and the current state of progress
within WordPress accessibility.

This session was incredibly informative, and I’m glad there was a transcript. It made the session easier to consume and it also makes it easier to refer back to, at least for me.
