Welcome to an extra edition of the mailbag where you will find some of the comments, questions and ideas sent recently by readers of this newsletter or our publications. They are edited for space and clarity. “Good afternoon, Shane. I could not agree with you more about compressing the election season (Early voting, Oct. 21, 2024). I wrote years ago that if we could find technology to record our vote safely and then eliminate the viewer seeing any more political ads, it would be wonderful. Then we could get back to the important ads such as diarrhea cures, herbicides, crop seeds, Clean Boss and My Pillow.” - John I like where you are going with this, John, but we should be continually leery of Big Tech and its promises to simplify our lives in safe ways. And, often times, that goes for our government, too. - Shane “We need a new button on the TV remote (Early voting, Oct. 21, 2024). If you have already voted, you push the ‘voted’ button on the remote, and the TV automatically skips any and all political ads. Of course, it may result in skipping some news broadcasts as well.” - Chuck Now you’re talking, Chuck. How much extra would people pay for that feature? - Shane “Shane, I believe you’re absolutely right when you say Kmart demise was due to selling cheap items for low prices (Attention, Kmart shoppers, Oct. 22, 2024). When Walmart went national in the 1970s, they were selling quality goods at low prices. Only made sense that customers would start flocking to Walmart stores. Kmart just failed to adjust their marketing strategy. I do miss Kmart submarine sandwiches, though!” - Kevin I don’t recall the Kmart submarine sandwiches, but you are in luck . I did a quick search and found a video from a person who shared the recipe from a former Kmart employee. And now I am hungry. - Shane “We keep on hand enough towels to provide fresh ones for the occasional sleep over of five or more so each can have their own (Bath towels, Oct. 23, 2024). In case we run across any psychotic non soap sharers like yours, we keep a supply of unopened samples from our hotel stays. Shampoo, too. BTW, if you want to gross out your children, ask them how they feel about the trend of hotels supplying mounted bottles of bath liquids in refillable and tamperable containers. That'll creep them out this Halloween season.” - John Yeah, I don’t use anything from those hotel refillable bottles either. - Shane Have a thoughtful Thursday, and thanks for reading.

The days of getting an accessibility audit and frantically fixing issues are over. The focus is now on shifting left, maturing accessibility as a capability, and baking it into the DNA of your organization. Here are some great tips on how to do just that!

Weekly Tech Tip #25: Avoid Empty Links—Don’t Let Your Site Become a Haunted Maze! 🎃👻 This week’s #WeeklyTechTip has a spooky twist: empty links can turn your website into a haunted maze for screen reader users! Just like dead-end hallways, empty links with href="#" lead nowhere and leave users feeling lost. Why It’s Important: For users relying on screen readers, empty links are like ghostly whispers—no clear direction, just confusion. When links lack descriptive text, they become frustrating dead-ends, disrupting navigation and turning your website into a labyrinth that’s hard to escape from. 🎃 Imagine navigating a website without being able to see the links—it’s only through the screen reader’s spoken descriptions that a user understands where each link leads. For many, this disrupts the overall experience and can even lead to them abandoning the site altogether. Ensuring every link has purpose prevents a hauntingly bad experience and helps users navigate without any “tricks.” How to Exorcise Those Ghostly Links: 🕸️ Add clear, descriptive text for every link so users know where they’re going. 🕸️ For inactive links, try disabling them or add a “Coming Soon” message to avoid any “phantom” surprises. 🕸️ Wrap text in <span> tags if a link isn’t live yet, so screen readers don’t encounter ghost links. 🕸️ Use aria-disabled="true" to signal a disabled link without confusing users. Pro Tip: Make your site a treat, not a trick, by making it easy for everyone to navigate. Accessible links = happy users, and no one gets spooked away! 🎃👻 #SpookyAccessibility #HauntedNavigation #EmptyLinks #HalloweenTechTips #WebAccessibility #InclusiveDesign
