🎃🍂 Halloween’s here
Boo! 👻
It was a productive start to October, with five posts in the first fortnight. Then one of my kids caught a cold and wasn’t sleeping well, so my early starts (and therefore my writing) took a bit of a knock.
- Using the keyboard to navigate on macOS
- How to use the keyboard to navigate on Safari
- Styling list markers the right way
- Custom unordered list markers, done right
- Accessibility issues when removing list markers
- Respecting people’s privacy
Updated articles
I updated a few older posts during October:
- I set up a new Mac and realised my Using nvm on macOS article needed a wee bit of extra detail
- Following some feedback on Twitter, I’ve updated my article on opening links in a new tab/window to include details on some browsers that offer special Back button behaviour for links that open in a new tab/window
Elsewhere on the web
- End the awkward – an enlightening article from Scope on language to use and avoid when talking about disability
- Accessible Web Animation where Val Head explains how animation can be accessible
- Writing even more CSS with Accessibility in Mind, Part 2: Respecting user preferences
- People Problems by Robin Rendle on CSS-Tricks, talking about cultural change being more important than nitty-gritty code or user experience improvements
- Heading off confusion: When do headings fail WCAG?, which describes some heading anti-patterns that might not fail WCAG, but are very bad for users
Anyway, I hope you manage to have a fun Halloween and I’ll see you again this time next month! 🦇
