Hyperlink copy is extremely important to inform the user what's going to happen once they click #lwsA11y17

You can't rely on colour alone to define your links, sometimes is not that immediate. #lwsA11y17
— Matteo Pescarin (@ilpeach) March 20, 2017
Use link underlines

… no, just because Google doesn't doesn't mean you can, you are not Google@aardrian #LWSA11y17 #a11y pic.twitter.com/omZftFQPDH
Links again: use the :focus! You need to inform keyboard users on where they are in the page. #lwsA11y17
— Matteo Pescarin (@ilpeach) March 20, 2017
Use underline for hyperlinks, not just colour. Don’t do it like Google!@aardrian #lwsA11y17 #a11y #webdesign

<section> and <article> should have a heading but that heading should NOT be <h1> says @aardrian #lwsA11y17
— London Web Standards (@webstandards) March 20, 2017
Don't use default focus styles, sometimes they hide! (Pic: screenshot of Chrome blue focus on blue bg)@aardrian #LWSA11y17 pic.twitter.com/Z0Rk4JdbWq

Flex content, absolutely positioned and floated elements can mess to the tabbing order between browsers #lwsA11y17
— Matteo Pescarin (@ilpeach) March 20, 2017
Use your <h#> right! Hirarchy is sooo important@aardrian #LWSA11y17 #a11y
— Scuff El (@scuff_el) March 20, 2017
Source order matters for Grid read @rachelandre's post on #subgrid says @aardrian #lwsA11y17 pic.twitter.com/RAFHIkFQhX

You can re-order presentation with CSS/JS, but source order will be the order of presentation for keyboard users @aardrian #LWSA11y17 #a11y

Interesting: the lang attribute changes the speech engine on most screen readers #lwsA11y17

https://t.co/84fbfGHF85 brilliant tool to fix captions autogenerated by YouTube #lwsA11y17 thanks @aardrian
— Matteo Pescarin (@ilpeach) March 20, 2017
lang attribute does all sorts of important stuff. Correct decimal places and proper pronounciation are super useful! @aardrian #LWSA11y17 pic.twitter.com/cswPXGOIiQ

Don't assume aria covers your ass…
— Scuff El (@scuff_el) March 20, 2017
Test in Windows high contrast mode looses most CSS but doesn't get aria@aardrian #LWSA11y17 #a11y
Try not to tweet pictures of text, have alternative text. @aardrian #lwsa11y17 #a11y #accessibility

Another great talk at #lwsA11y17 – lots of laughs from @aardrian in among some excellent serious points.
— Jude Gibbons (@judeGibbons) March 20, 2017
Bizarrely, in the middle of @aardrian's talk about how you should use your keyboard to test a11y with no mouse, my trackpad stopped working.
— Jude Gibbons (@judeGibbons) March 20, 2017
Second talk by @aardrian this evening at #LWSA11y17 getting more into tech details. Really informative & only a few of the same jokes.

Check list design won't cut it – got to test (nobody checked to see if this statue ramp worked for stair OR ramp users)@aardrian #LWSA11y17 pic.twitter.com/JMPi7ptl3s
— Scuff El (@scuff_el) March 20, 2017
Great example by @aardrian of the importance of user testing. And the (unsurprising) results of not having any #killerRamp pic.twitter.com/mrhmf20y4h
