Great article. Spoiler alert #EmailGeeks yes, you do still need it for your layout tables. But this is a good read to help understand how it it all works a bit better.

Because of AI, it's getting harder to be a public educator on the internet. Devs are watching far fewer tutorials and buying fewer paid courses, making it financially tough for teachers. If you like a creator's content and can spare some cash, find out how you can support them.

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated! But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in? What feels more natural to you, A or B? (it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)

Thanks for the afternoon tea #LitmusLive. Will I be disciplined and save some of it for the conference on 11th-12th Feb, or will I eat it all before. Time to place your bets folks. Then register here to find out www.litmus.com/conference My session is on the 11th, 14:50ET / 19.50GMT

Samsung mail has this really annoying bug where, if a user turns on the auto-fit feature, Samsung tries to force an email to be responsive. But more often than not, it actually stops the email being responsive 🤦 Well here's a way to fix that. customer.io/learn/mobile...

Question for my #designSystem friends, what do you call this kind of label directly below a link? Is there a name for it, or is it just a label/description?

Hey #EmailGeeks I wrote a little post on how to improve the accessibility for things like reverse stacked columns. This is an age old issue but thankfully some new CSS can help us fix it. Not much email client support yet but I think it's still well worth doing. customer.io/learn/delive...

So big new, I’ve just changed my role at customer.io. I’m now going to be a Developer Advocate! 
 Not to be confused with a Devouring Advocaat which I do as more of a festive pass time, this will be a full time job.

Love this :D

So much music seems to be disappearing from Napster :( so thinking about trying Qobuz. Anyone used it? Any pro's, cons, thoughts. I know like Napster, Qobuz seem to pay artists better than the others so that's good. Any others worth looking at?

I do like this new colour format it's great for web. But I still use the old one 😢 "Fun" fact for the day. If you use the white space syntax in Gmail, not only will it ignore it but it will also remove all the other styles in an inline style attribute, or remove an entire embedded <style> block.

Following on from the @emailmarkup.org Accessibility Report yesterday. If you support the work we're doing to make email markup more accessible, more consistent and all round better. Please add your name to the list. emailmarkup.org/en/supporters/ #EmailGeeks

We've just put our the latest Email Accessibility Report. There has been some improvement from previous years, but the results are still pretty dire. So today on #GAAD please take a moment to look at fixing at least one thing in your emails.

Fun email bug of the day #EmailGeeks. Superhuman will flatten all font sizes, if a #CSS border property doesn't appear inside an email. This is the best bug I've seen in a while. github.com/hteumeuleu/e...

🏳️‍⚧️ NEW 🏳️‍⚧️ We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act. So we’re readying a challenge – join us: goodlaw.social/xpme

UK folks - the @goodlawproject.bsky.social is fundraising to challenge the Supreme Court's recent judgement goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Fun look at the evolution of email over the year. Oh and look, I'm quoted in it a few times, so it must be good #EmailGeeks stripo.email/blog/email-m...

I know this has been shared a lot already but if you've not seen it yet, it's well worth watching www.ted.com/talks/carole...

Playing around with #CSS Overflow Module Level 5. I built out a CSS only hotspot email. This works in (some) email clients such as @notion.com Mail. When viewed in Chrome 135. It's early days but I'm loving these new CSS features, so much potential 😃 parcel.io/e/461478b7-f... #EmailGeeks

Oh hello #EmailGeeks this looks good

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

Browsers are so unified these day, I forget there are sometimes differences. Todays learning strong tags in Firefox are set to `font-weight:bolder` others use `bold` browserdefaultstyles.com/#strong#strong Email is still the wild west of rendering. Keeping things exciting. Living life on the edge.

Please don’t rely on automated tools to write alt text! Sure, AI is getting better at being able to recognise what’s in an image, but its context that matters! See my example, where the same image, in two places, needs different alt text: www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/how-to-... #accessibility #a11y

Morning #Brighton folks, the weather is shit today so get yourself down to Silver Spur makers market in Knoyle Hall, BN1 6RB (free parking). Be sure to check out Flamingo Rodeo (my partner's stall).

Found a fun #accessibility bug today. An element containing only an &nbsp; inside a region, inside a document, inside an application. Will take you out of the region when using VoiceOver in Safari. #EmailGeeks this is happening in Outlook webmail, so watch out for it github.com/hteumeuleu/e...

Hiya folks, Does anyone know of a setting in Safari dev tools that can stop it squashing content to 1 character per line? Obviously less elements is one solution but this is an email in outlook webmail and none of it is my code.

Hiya #EmailGeeks I was on Notes From the Dev with @megcodesemail.bsky.social Go and check it out, I talk about how to create some very cool nostalgic WordArt in email. If you don't think WordArt is groovy, hip and fly then why are you following me? www.emailonacid.com/blog/article...

Great look into email accessibility (or rather lack of accessibility) axesslab.com/inaccessible... from mastodon.social/@ErikGustafs... also video available at www.deque.com/axe-con/sess... Coding email can be very complex, but these examples are failing on the basics. #EmailGeeks #A11y

Hey new folks! Please go into your settings and turn this on to remind you to be a good citizen to your visually impaired friends and colleagues.

The question I get asked most often. “Mark can you please team up with Bagpuss to explain, how to use border-radius in HTML email with up to 8 values?” Well here's what you've all been asking for www.youtube.com/watch?v=felh...  #EmailGeeks #Bagpuss
