Accessibility at WordCamps
Well, it seems my post about accessibility at WCUS has got some things moving! As a result, it’s been a topic of podcasts — WP Builds, Post Status Excerpt, and Post Status Draft — and it’s come up in several Twitter conversations. As a result, WordCamp leaders have reached out to me to say they’re taking it seriously. Many people have DM’d me about how to do better. And Michele Butcher-Jones is starting a website to provide resources for WordPress Accessibility for All. (To be launched this fall.) It turns out that advocating for yourself and others is always a good thing.
WCUS Afterthoughts, Accessibility, and Pay Transparency — Post Status Excerpt (No. 69)
Dan Knauss and Nyasha Green talk about their WordCamp US experiences both good and bad. Their conversation focuses on accessibility and disability too. They both reflect on the accessibility challenges and failures Michelle Frechette shared in Five Days Without a Shower before turning to an important article by Piccia Neri that was published at Post Status last week.
