Welcome to BlogHer 2007 attendees and other visitors. This post is an add-on for a presentation I'm giving this afternoon with Virginia DeBolt covering web standards, accessibility, optimizing your blog for mobile devices, and microformats.
Materials:
- Our Presentation: Why do bloggers care about web standards? (PDF)
- My Handout: Everyone Should Be Reading Your Blog, Right? (Word document)
Here are the topics covered in the handout and my part of the presentation, with links to the posts on All Access Blogging that give more details and instructions for how to make them happen with the different blogging tools. This blog is definitely a work in progress, so for a few topics, I haven't yet created tutorials. To receive updates as I add topics to the blog, sign up for the All Access Blogging feed or subscribe by email. It's a low volume blog, but I hope the materials I am putting together are helpful and practical.
- Break Up Your Post Into Paragraphs
- Make Your Link Text Meaningful
- Headings are Headings, Lists are Lists, Quotes are Quotes - coming soon
- Background, Text, and Links - some of this is covered in Check Your Link Colors, You May Need to Redecorate
- Don't Open New Windows Without Warning People - coming soon
- Label Your Images
- Resist Visual CAPTCHAs
- Make Your Content Easy To Find - coming soon
- Check Those Widgets - coming soon, but in the meantime see Rate Your Blog, but Don't Forget Accessibility for an example of a widget that needs a little work before it's accessible.
I always welcome advice, feedback, corrections, and questions. Especially if the instructions given don't actually work for your blogging software, I'd really like to know so I can update or correct the tips. Please feel free to comment on the post in question or send me an email at skyekilaen@gmail.com.
Thanks!
