Set up an RSS feed! https://accessiblenet.neocities.org/feed.xml I'll try to post updates here too but you'll see them more reliably in the feed most likely, so I'd recommend subscribing!

btw for the alt text section, i dont think `alt="null"` works for purely decorative images. trying it in firefox with narrator, and it announces it literally as "null" instead of ignoring it.

yeah, for purely decorative images, alt="" (without any content between the quotation marks) is sufficient

I read something by someone with low vision saying that an empty alt tag made them think the person had just forgotten to leave an alt tag, while a null tag let them know it was something unimportant :0

alt="" *is* the null attribute? leaving it blank would mean not tacking on the alt attribute in the first place.

i think this post was written for people posting on social media platforms that provide an alt text field (in other words, sites that aren't handcoded) - that's where writing "null" would make sense.

Here are 2 accessibility things I've learned over the years: Max line length for reading should be 55 to 66 characters including spaces. 2) Large blocks of text are hard to read for many disabilities and general readers, good rule of thumb is 4-6 lines or 4-5 sentences long to give eyes reading breaks.

Hyperlinks should always describe what they are clicking since screen readers often jump to links to navigate the page. Instead the link saying something like "click here" it should describe where the link is going like the title of the article or webpage or the purpose of the link like "how to code my accessible layout here".

Using bolds and italics sparingly is indeed good to avoid eyestrain or migraines for readers, but using headings or bolds before different sections of your articles/posts can be helpful for navigation of screen readers (they can jump to html eadings just like they can links), scan reading, and breaking up the paragraphs in described chunks.
