- Mention lockdown mode and the Tor Browser disabling 3p fonts
- Mention usvg for simplifying SVGs
- Cite WAI's draft Low Vision Requirements document to justify stance
against sidebars.
- Trivial rephrasing
- Link to my "two types of privacy" article
- Update references to site colors to reflect changes
- Link to additional reference on buttons versus links.
- Add newly-discovered SeSe Engine
- Mention that Yep was formerly known as FairSearch
- Mention that Right Dao and SeSe start their crawls at Wikipedia
- Refactor markup: turn unordered lists into description-lists. It
makes sense to use them in this context.
- Add a bunch of new stuff from WAI-Coga's coga-usable doc
- Update outdated CSP example
- Rephrasings
- Elaborate on use of CSS containment
- More on the virtues of URL underlines
- MS Edge does not support AVIF
- More skip-link guidance
- guidance on keeping important content above the fold
- Reference a WebKit bug
- Add a11y metadata to transcribed images to communicate the presence of
a transcript
- Fix relative urls in navigation: make them absolute urls, so that the
parsed navigation elements have the correct destinations.
This also switches image transcripts from a section with a heading to a
div with an ARIA label. That should reduce duplication between the
<summary> content and the heading while still being semantically sound.
- Switch an abs link to a relative one
- Account for a site move
- Manually correct a couple dead links to point to the Wayback Machine
- Automatically switch some webmention links to the Wayback Machine
- Recommend others be careful with their use of soft hyphens, and test
with NVDA. Poorly-placed hyphens can make words sound unclear.
- Dial back my use of soft hyphens to only what's necessary.
The RSS feeds use escaped HTML instead of XHTML, which improves
compatibility with certain feed readers (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).
Mention that Outlook uses its own weird engine for feed contents in my
web best practices article.
It's useless and invalid in those contexts, and removing it
significantly trims the file sizes.
Edit a post featuring a microdata code snippet to avoid conflicts.
The site now has polygot markup and can handle both XHTML5 and HTML5
parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.
If other tools (e.g. LightHouse) end up supporting XHTML5, I'll consider
switching the content-type to XHTML.
Move "in defense of link underlines" to subsection of new "visible
interactive semantics" section. Add info on distinguishing between
buttons and links, and making non-interactive space look visually
distinct from interactive space.
- round-trip-tracking is overkill for most use-cases
- clarify that horizontal line test is best used for landmarks and for
multiple different grouping elements, rather than just any grouping
element.
Allow specifying open graph images for individual pages. Change default
site-wide open graph image alt-text to an empty string since the default
image only has visual value, and is better off hidden from assistive
technologies.
Set an open graph image for two articles.
- Add new subsection of "optimal loading" that connects WCAG SC 2.4.5
with payload size.
- Remove/replace some inline formatting.
- Add some in-page-links to definitions and new section
- Replace "click" with "navigate" since not everyone navigates by click.
Describe current limitations of machine translation for web content, and
encourage authors to hard-wrap <pre> text to limit horizontal scrolling
in widescreen desktop browsers.
Mention KaiOS Readout
- Benefit of identical source/dom/visual order: layout consistency
- Expand the "horizontal-line test" to be a bit more precise.
- Elaborate on line-length issues in SC 1.4.8
- Add footnote mentioning uBlock Origin's support for blocking large
media elements
- Update mention of border-colors: I don't set most border colors
anymore.
- Switch "lighten them up" to "de-saturate them" regarding colors and
overstimulation.
- Update references to my CSS color palette to reflect changes
- Reduce excessive inline formatting in a blockquote
- Re-phrasings and formatting
- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts.
- Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times.
- Fix spacing issues for nested articles.
- Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are
taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift.
- Moar microdata
- Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new
date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly
- Change a quote of a code snippet to a code snippet with a citation
- Mention tkhtml
- Mention pandoc and printfriendly as exmples of moving figure elements
like floating blocks.
- Make TPGi a publisher, not an author.
- Use brackets to clarify a reference in a quotation.
- Add personal example of why it's important to test both low- and
high-end displays.
- Mention device-adjust
- translation tools don't always understand nested translate directives
- another pitfall of over-reliance on indentation: nested indented
elements are ambiguous
- Fix some typos
- Update outdatead references to my site's CSS that I've since changed.
