Looking for definitive best practices for #semanticHTML structure so that #accessible technologies like voice readers do the best job possible on complex web pages.

Help? @mattmay @jmspool @MrAlanCooper
#ux #webdesign
Specifically, sections:
- nesting - yes/no (it feels too much like nested tables to me - does it trip up screen readers?)
- use H2 instead of H1 (despite multiple H1s being "ok")?
- when/where/how to use ARIA role=heading for divs?
HTML structure is high level, few.
Content types, granular, many.

Have found (in no particular order)

* Semantics and Accessibility: Heading Structure
accessiblehtmlheadings.com

* Schema.org

* HTML5Test.org
And this is useful, although not the question I was trying to answer. I have some code to fix ...

White boomers, step aside.
We have become the voting block of obstruction. Of racism. Of NIMBYism.

Talking more to white men (who have the political power) more than white women, for sure, but we (WW) put Trump in the WH.
What happened to the cohort who brought about the end of Vietnam?

Our parents gifted us with Nixon, an unintended consequence of our crucifying LBJ, who birthed the Civil Rights Act.
Or were the protesters only a small fraction of their cohort? Was it a media shift (Cronkite) that ended Vietnam?

It was a Republican who warned us about the military-industrial-Congressional complex, a triad that still has a stranglehold on policy and public $ today.

Kudos to the @washingtonpost for debunking the claim in the headline. But they still led with the lie. :-/

<Antibiotics do not prevent people from dying from the measles, Rep. Zedler>
Fixed that for you
washingtonpost.com/health/2019/02…
Traditional news structure does NOT work for stories like these. The who-what-when-where-why-how formula does a disservice to the greater good.
Zedler was born in 1943.

When he was a child, 450 people died annually from the measles; 48,000 were hospitalized; millions got the disease.

The vaccine was introduced in 1962; it took until 2000 to almost eliminate the disease.

Brazen. Unique. Wide-ranging.

In this case (there are two) Manafort, 69, pled guilty to two crimes with maximum 10-year sentence. Memo cited sentencing guidelines of up to 22 years.

Investigate more rich people and his crimes may not appear so unique.
DOJ could start by re-opening Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. How can it not be related to Vero Beach?

Then fund federal investigations coordinated with local police.

“More than 9,000 illicit massage businesses operate in every state around the country, bringing in a stunning $2.5 billion each year”

For today's #TenThings let's talk about 10 THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AS A WRITER. Because, yes, you're an artist, but if you want to be traditionally published, you're going to have to learn to go with the flow, gracefully.
The usual disclaimers apply: YMMV, my way is not the only way, everyone's experience is different. Advice is intended for new writers of genre fiction in the US seeking traditional publishing. I'm a straight white woman, so your difficulty setting may be higher.
1. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE INDUSTRY. Would it be great if publishing worked the way you wanted it to? Sure. But it doesn't. It works the way it works. Don't like querying? Tough. Want more say in your cover? Fine. Go indie/self-pub. Don't wanna pay an agent? RIP your rights.

Why did the unemployment rate go up - after 304K jobs were added to the economy? Of course you're dying to know this, and that's where WWR's Paul Brandus comes in. The simple answer: the two data points - jobs created and the unemployment rate - come from two separate surveys /1

I met Shyla last year in a meeting. Her father had dreamt of making her a doctor. But his dreams drowned in the sewer he had died in. This is her story. (ruralindiaonline.org/articles/my-mo…)
Ten years later, Shyla is almost close to realising her father’s dream. She is doing her nursing course, and she needs help. As a society that sent her father down the sewers, I think it is our responsibility to see that she becomes a nurse.
When I met her again last month, Shyla was exuding confidence. “I will soon be a nurse and if you need anything, call me over” she told me and i cant wait.
Shyla’s course fee for third year comes close to Rs 1 lakh. I already have someone pledging Rs 10,000.

1/ I cannot decide whether to include exercises at the end of chapters in Bldg a Second Brain book. Overall goal is for the book to be as universally accessible, easy to understand, and applicable to everyone as possible
2/ PROs: exercises REALLY help solidify and personalize the lessons, provide an immediate action to put new ideas into practice, and are actually super useful, not just "discussion questions" or filler
3/ CONs: I don't think I've ever done an end-of-chapter exercise in a book; they can interrupt and break the flow of someone who thinks they have to implement before continuing; there's not really time/space to fully explain the exercise + guidelines; obviously no interactivity

Funny how I keep hearing about sugar addiction, opioid addiction, porn addiction, social media addiction, alcohol addiction and video game addiction, yet nobody seems to be asking why so many of us get addicted to things that distract us from modern reality.
Issues to consider:
- Cog in the machine existence
- Destruction of families and social groups
- Removal of aesthetics as a consideration in human space
- A life consisting of checking items off a list
- A purely materialistic economically rationalist social focus.
To maximize the productivity of each individual, it's necessary to create a check-list with constantly moving goal posts, with a minimal amount of distractions that take away the desire to finish off the list.
