Working in a #WordPress site that needs some data tables that are easy for client to update. What's the best plugin that gives a good responsive display but also has good #accessibility? Ps: site uses #Gutenberg editor. Thanks.

@joedolson @RianRietveld Thanks Joe. Hope you are well.

@RianRietveld Hi Rian, hope you're well. Your #a11y talk at WCEU got a specific positive mention from someone at #WPLDN this evening. Of course now I want to see it. Is the video available somewhere yet?

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

@RianRietveld Getting definite FOMO as I see you're speaking at Witley Bay this year, and I can't go.... 8-(

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

@RianRietveld Oh I see it's on YouTube. 🙂

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

@TheFigen_ Guitar picks. Obviously.

Back at #WPLDN again this evening for the first time in ages. There's a good turnout and good vibe. #London #WordPress

Two years ago I raised a bug on #Firefox around use of #HTML input type="date". When calendar is open the font size won't change if user zooms or does text resize. So #accessibility is difficult for those with poor vision. How can we get this progressed?

@NVAccess Thanks I will do that soon. Need to retest on less busy day.

I run web #accessibility training courses for devs and often demo things with #NVDA screen reader. In the latest version Speech Viewer has become very patchy and often stops working. Have other #a11y people experienced this, or is it just me? /cc @NVAccess

Hi @yoast. I'm going to use the <details> and <summary> elements in a page - it's the native HTML accordion. But I'm wondering if the content in the <details> section that would not initially be visible on the page actually gets noticed and indexed by search engines? Do you know?

@danmaby Flat Iron is closed. So we're in a bar called Carrubo in Southwark Quarter - on Southwark Street close to Southwark Bridge Road.

Louise from @IndigoTreeSays starting her #WPLDN presentation on the impact of your #WordPress website.

@keithdevon Indeed Keith, it'd be great to see you again. 🙂

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

@RianRietveld @WordCampNL Hi Rian, hope it goes/went well.

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

Just come across this takedown of the #accessibility of the new Threads app. It's from a few weeks ago, has anything improved since then? #a11y #Threads #fails https://t.co/VvwgvZ5jhJ

[CoolfieldsConsulting @coolfields]

Hey @tnash it was good to see your name in my inbox again, and glad your newsletter is back. I read with interest your post entitled Humans Get Hit By Buses, and I can vouch that it does happen. Fortunately I'm OK these days 🙂 Hope Athens goes well. https://t.co/xaiVnaFyjE

For the sake of our health and the planet, we need to end the age of plastic.
