It served a purpose for me at the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/html5accessibility.com\/stuff\/2020\/08\/05\/round-em-up\/\">unitl it didn&#8217;t<\/a>, as for the longest time I had almost exclusively published stuff on the WordPress based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpgi.com\/author\/steve\/\">TPG(i) blog<\/a>, but wanted to write stuff elsewhere as there were loads of other excellent people writing on there as TPGi grew. Oh and I also wrote for <a href=\"https:\/\/html5doctor.com\/author\/stevef\/\">HTML5 Doctor<\/a> (WordPress) during it&#8217;s dotage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"How\">How do you write your posts? For example, in a local editing tool, or in a panel \/ dashboard that\u2019s part of your blog?<\/h2>\n<p>Like Adrian I write them in the classic editor in WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"When\">When do you feel most inspired to write?<\/h2>\n<p>When i have something to say, often I attempt to provide practical, research\/testing based information to counter misinformation published by others and lately to cut through the <em>bukkake<\/em> of AI slop.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Do\">Do you publish immediately after writing, or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends, but usually once i have finished an article I publish it. I don&#8217;t think about when is the best time to publish to get the most clicks and KLOUT.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"WhatAgain\">What are you generally interested in writing about?<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s easy: i like to write about web accessibility, accessibility APis in browsers, screen reader support for HTML semantics and related stuff.<\/p>\n<h2>Who are you writing for?<\/h2>\n<p>again, like Adrian I am writing for the future me. And for anyone who wants fact based accessibility implementation information.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"WhatYetAgain\">What\u2019s your favorite post on your blog?<\/h2>\n<p>I like &#8217;em all to a lesser and greater extent, depending on what i have forgotten at a particular time. <a href=\"https:\/\/html5accessibility.com\/stuff\/2024\/05\/22\/not-so-short-note-on-aria-label-usage-big-table-edition\/\">Not so short note on aria-label usage \u2013 Big Table Edition<\/a> comes to mind. I am also fond of <a href=\"https:\/\/html5accessibility.com\/stuff\/2022\/01\/10\/alt-tag-emptiness\/\">ALT TAG EMPTINESS<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Any\">Any future plans for your blog? Maybe a redesign, a move to another platform, or adding a new feature?<\/h2>\n<p>Nope. It provides what i want\/need just as it is.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Tag\">Tag \u2019em<\/h2>\n<p>i like these people (amongst others) coz they write and do good stuff to make the web a better and more accessible and inclusive place to hang out in.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yatil.net\/\">Eric Eggert<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hidde.blog\/\">Hidde de Vries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>music<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aNNWma_oHIA?si=pvZIyCMsR6bZYQI6\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>Lyrics<\/summary>\n<pre>The smell of piss is so strong\r\nIt smells like decent bacon\r\nKevin's getting footloose on the overspill\r\nUnder the piss-station\r\nTwo pints destroyer on the cobbled floors\r\nNo amount of whatever is gonna chirp the chip up\r\nIt's \"The Final Countdown, \" by fuckin' Journey\r\nI woke up with shit in my sock outside the Polish off-licence\r\n\"They don't mind\" said the arsehole to the legs\r\nYou got to be cruel to be kind, shit bank\r\nSave it up like Norbert Colon\r\nRelease the stench of shit grub like a giant toilet kraken\r\nThe lonely life that is touring\r\nI got an armful of decent tunes, mate\r\nBut it's all so fuckin' boring\r\nTied up in Nottz, with a Z, you cunt\r\nBlack t-shirts and state toss\r\nNobby's Nuts, the rule of rough cuts\r\nA to Z of nothing gets all the shiz\r\nWe are real, we are looking 20p in the 10p mix\r\nCrab eyes, another lonely little DJ with no fuckin' life\r\nWeetabix, England, fuckin' shredded wheat, Kelloggs cunts\r\nOn bleak shiz, hard cock, the green light don't stop\r\nThe shit homegrown dealers of Berlin begging for lolly\r\nAnd it's beautiful how the privileged still let 'em in\r\nTied up in Nottz, Shit!\r\nAnd then the dealer's tipped up\r\nTied up in Nottz, Shit!\r\nAnd then the dealer's tipped up\r\nTied up in Nottz, Shit!\r\nAnd then the dealer's tipped up\r\nTied up in Nottz, Shit!\r\nAnd then the dealer's tipped up\r\n...
