Greetings, WebAIM list:

Apologies for cross-posting.

I thought some of you might want to be aware of this growing set of
tutorials from the Web Accessibility Initiative, and perhaps some of
you will have feedback. Start at:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/


I haven't read through all of them, yet, but so far, I especially
like the one on carousels. Note that I didn't say I liked carousels,
but at least in my world, they seem to be necessary. And since
they're front and center on many sites, it's helpful to get them right.

When they're not, at least to me, a page often sounds like a useless
jumble of numbered links that go nowhere (or something similar). at
least to me, finding a working carousel on a homepage is an exciting
sign that a site may offer me, as a screen reader user, a good experience.

Thanks to the WAI for providing these tutorials to our growing body
of knowledge.

Best,
Jennifer
