Kind: Notes

John and I have just finished consuming footlong subs after doing a bunch of work, including chores. We have more to do this afternoon. There will be beers for me later on.

A #WordPress with a screen reader update:

We have a third tutorial building on the last two and covering the block inserter in depth, along with accompanying audio presentations for all three parts.

Enjoy, and John and I hope you find this useful!

So we're to the point where almost every major Jewish holiday has a significant antisemitic incident associated with it. Sort of like really messed up sociopathic pokimon. There's a silver lining though because they'll never be able to ruin Tishah B'Av. Hey, it's the little things.

I just almost wrote "using VoiceOver on a Mac with VoiceOver", so clearly it's beer:30.

I got myself a copy of "Take Control of iOS Shortcuts" by Rosemary Orchard, and I can't wait to dig into it so I can make some really cool #indieweb shortcuts for interacting with my site from my phone.

שבת שלום!

It's taken us a while, but we're finally able to continue work on documenting how to use the #WordPress block editor with a screen reader. Everything has been updated to include both Windows and Mac keystrokes, and has been tested with the latest versions of WordPress, Jaws for Windows, NVDA, and VoiceOver for the Mac, along with Firefox and Chrome.

John and I hope this material is useful!

From the Woopsie Doodle Dept.: My phone's been on Do Not Disturb all day. No wonder everything's been quiet.

Come on Braves don't screw this up!

It's about to be beer:30. I've gotten the site at least unborked for today, and negotiated a reversion to the Classic Editor until I can get some of these other bits and pieces to work correctly. Plus, I got Slack to run without puking on this little notebook.

Today in "Why Backups Are Good For You":

Who knew that trying to unf*ck a custom taxonomy to try to make the select work properly in the block editor would result in:

Surprise! Total borking of the site!

Man this is going to be a long process. And my hate for the block editor incraments by one for the second time today. There will be alcohol later.

Have I mentioned how absolutely hostile the WordPress block editor is? Because I feel like that needs to be mentioned again after I had to change a custom taxonomy for a post only to have to go through a bunch of crap just to get this thing back to being able to be edited in the block editor and then have to redo a bunch of blocks that just disappeared. Reasons why I hate the block editor incrament by 1.
