From the archives
From the very recent archives, a subject that comes up time and again with people who are new to screen reader testing: the tab key. Three things:

Elsewhere on the web
Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs from around the web that I read during March:
- Jakob Nielsen’s Bad Ideas about Accessibility
- An HTML Switch Control
- Subtitles, Closed Captions, and Open Captions: What’s the Difference?
- A letter to my younger self, as an accessibility advocate
- Web accessibility survey
- On popover accessibility: what the browser does and doesn’t do
Anyway, I’m off to find out how much chocolate I can eat before I throw up; catch you again this time next month! 🍫🍫🍫
