This is just a lament that #AltText isn’t used more universally. Some of the accounts I follow on here are rather prolific posters, and much of what they post are unlabeled graphics. For those of us who use screenreaders to access content, #AltText would make life a lot easier, since screenreaders for the most part can’t handle graphics. As a result, all I often get is my speech synthesizer saying the word image. Part of me doesn’t even want to bring this up, because it makes me feel like a schmo to ask people to do an extra step when they’re already trying to put out a lot of content. But, that being said, I’d like to have full access to that content as well, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. #A11Y

Fixed a long-standing color contrast problem on my website 🎉

Been using (h/t @KiwiKilian) remark-shiki-twoslash as an @eleventy v3 replacement for eleventy-plugin-shiki-twoslash to highlight syntax in Markdown code blocks.

But it's stuck on an old Shiki version with no accessible themes. So I forked it!

@olets/eleventy-plugin-shiki-twoslash has high contrast themes and supports Eleventy 3. (CJS->ESM side quest: createRequire)

Remember in August when I gave a talk about HTML tables for the WebAIM online conference?

That video is online!

I have embedded it on my site:

Or you can go to YouTube directly (where you can find the other swell talks from that day).
