It's almost time for #WPAllyMeetup! Starting at 10 AM Central for Elevating the Web: An Adventure in Web Accessibility, presented by Nora Guy, CUA, CPACC. #Captioned on Zoom. Join us now! #a11y #accessibility us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Accessibility-ready requirements for #WordPress themes have been updated! This was a multi-year process with many people involved, and I'm thrilled to see the culmination finally live. Theme devs have until June 30th to update their themes to the new standards or remove the tag. #a11y #accessibility

Who do you know that does amazing web design work (Figma) and product graphic creation for SaaS? Tag them so I can check out their portfolio. We're looking for someone to work with soon and would love recommendations.

Thinking about helping WP Accessibility Day 2026, but not sure where to start? Bronze level sponsorship ($500) is an easy way to get involved, helping you reach a global audience while supporting accessibility. wpaccessibility.day/2026/sponsor... #accessibility #a11y #WordPress #Conference

I spent 44 hours refining our sitemap + writing new copy and design briefs for 29 webpages this week... and I didn't even get to check off a to-do in Basecamp, because apparently we never created one. 🤔 Will I get the same dopamine hit if I create one and immediately check it off?

A 1-year deadline extension for state and local government compliance with ADA Title II on the web is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on April 20th. Population > 50k now = April 26, 2027 Population < 50k now = April 26, 2028 #accessibility #a11y

The upside to a year with no planned travel or conferences... plenty of time for puppy training. ❤️ amberhinds.com/2026/04/word...

Go behind-the-scenes of our audit process Thurs. 3/5 @ 10 AM CST. I'll demo auditing and finding issues + how I built a low-code website with @gravityforms.com and ACF to manage our issues library and ensure consistency across testers. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #WordPress #accessibility #a11y

Fun fact: if you're using Brave browser and have shields up for Playground, it doesn't apply patches. This makes it very difficult to test @wordpress.org core PRs. Don't ask how long it took me to realize that was why I couldn't see any of the changes people said were in the PR...

Want a preview of UI changes coming very soon in Accessibility Checker? Steve and William are live on YouTube showing it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyb...

I watched Train Dreams today. One of the best movies I have seen. Beautiful cinematography, excellent pacing, impactful characters and acting in a story that really sits with you. It's almost poetic; a meditation on the meaning of life.

Usercentrics (the cookie banner solution) is considering building an accessibility overlay. They're asking for feedback and opinions, for which they will give a €30 gift card as a thank you. Opinions about #accessibility overlays? Take this survey... form.typeform.com/to/duFlESXh?... #a11y

I'm live with Beaver Builder right now to discuss accessibility. Tune in! www.youtube.com/live/H6ACpH5... #WordPress #accessibility #a11y

I just spotted one of our accessibility testers, Devin Gutierrez, in this cool music video highlighting Apple's accessibility features. 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmFP... #a11y #accessibility

We're hunkered down for the winter storm and I'm taking advantage of a weekend with no activities to turn all the VHS home movies I got from my Grandma's house into digital versions we can actually watch. The perfect nostalgic winter activity.

Web accessibility ≠ charity. It’s good UX, SEO, and ROI. @amberhinds.bsky.social breaks it all down. youtu.be/BW20u0p_8R4 #Page2Podcast #webaccessibility

This started as a conversation on X, and I realized I had way more to say than could fit in a tweet, so now it's a blog post. Here's why we don't use block libraries at Equalize Digital: amberhinds.com/2026/01/why-... #WordPress

RE mega menus: I tested adding one of the "better" at accessibility WordPress plugins to our staging site last night - Max Mega Menu. I made the most accessible settings choices, then tested it. Here's what I found... wordpress.org/support/topi... #WordPress #WordPressPlugins #accessibility #a11y

Same goes for WCAG in my book. There's never a good excuse to not adhere to accessibility guidelines. If what you're trying to do is not technically possible to do accessible, you should probably reconsider what you're trying to do.

We're going to rebuild our website this year, and just had a 3-hour discussion about our navigation menu. Specifically, what should be in it, and if we should make the leap to a mega menu. Website projects are harder for yourself than for clients. 😅

🎉 Big milestone! Accessibility Checker hit 10,000+ active installs on WordPress dot org! We went from 9,000 to 10,000 in 47 days. wordpress.org/plugins/acce... #WordPress #accessibility #a11y

Latest accessibility issue reported for a #WordPress plugin that claims to be accessible or help with accessibility. Be aware: just because a plugin claims to help with accessibility does not mean you can trust it to be accessible. wordpress.org/support/topi... #accessibility #a11y

Links should be underlined. Don't try to be fancy. The old-fashioned browser default is all you need. Here's a perfect bad example from a blog post I opened on my phone with bedtime mode on. Can you tell how many links are on the screen? #a11y #accessibility

We really appreciate @godaddy.com supporting captions for WordPress Accessibility Meetup. It makes a big difference for a lot of attendees. #WPA11yMeetup

Missed this? Judging severity in accessibility issues https://www.joedolson.com/2026/01/judging-severity-in-accessibility-issues/

We get lots of questions about VPATs and Accessibility Conformance Reports from plugin devs, so I wrote a post that answers common questions and explains why #WordPress plugins need them. #accessibility #a11y equalizedigital.com/why-your-wor...

Why is the WAVE website not mobile responsive? So weird to see from an accessibility focused organization in 2026.

Our company X account was suspended without explanation today. We filed an appeal but I am not holding my breath. Debating if we should create an account for the company here. Do #WordPress and #a11y folks follow companies and is maintaining a company Bluesky account worth it?

I took advantage of winter break to write a blog post. Reflections on my goals for the year and how much I've been working. amberhinds.com/2025/12/2025...

Not-really-hot take: Thinking `<button role="link">` is ever acceptable in place of `<a href>` is dogmatic transubstantiation belief nonsense. Does not… • fire on Space; • show URL in status bar; • have right-click options; • etc. It is never meat. Er, I mean, a link.

Does anyone actually want a "happy holidays" email from a company in their inbox? Debating putting effort into that or just giving everyone's delete button a break.

@davatron5000.bsky.social are the best person to talk to about sponsoring the A11y Project? With the contact page taken down, I can't figure out how to reach out.
