A big issue when it comes to accessibility in the RPC seems to be a lack of self-awareness. Help blogs, indies and writes blogs alike can all reblog a funny post about our font sizes, post sizes and icons progressively getting smaller, but they can’t recognize when their own themes are suffering the same fate.
To try and fix this disconnect, I’ve whipped up a page that acts as a live guide meant to help everyone become a bit more self-aware and recognize when a theme is inaccessible. On the page, you can compare what you should do to what you shouldn’t do when making and customizing themes.
If you’re willing to make a change and work toward the community being a more inclusive place, spread the word to your friends and give this post a reblog. If accessibility isn’t your aesthetic, just keep it moving. This post isn’t hurting anyone by offering help to those who need it and getting upset over people openly talking about the importance of accessibility is, well, ableist.
So, let’s all work towards a more inclusive 2017!
