This is a question that esmi has brought up in make.accessible: Cited example: Should the Twenty Thirteen drop the use of the role attribute on the HTML5 nav element on the grounds that the element, by definition, has the role of navigation? Or should role=”navigation” be retained in order to support technologies that are not yet HTML5 aware? My own opinion that the role attribute should be retained for the time being in order to support the widest range of technologies. Dropping it would offer only a marginal benefit in reducing page bloat. Please do weigh in with your opinions on the ticket. Great question and I love the focus […]

With tablets increasingly becoming the device that people use (all be it with the addition of a bluetooth keyboard in some cases) and smartphones becoming the first computer that people own, it begs the question of whether they can replace your computer as your only device. In the past we’ve looked at blogging from just a smartphone and the new android applications that allow your average blogger to write a good post, attach an image, reply to comments and even check the statistics from their different accounts. But today we’re looking at going one step deeper; not just writing blog […]

Hate your job? Not exactly super-stoked about where your life might be headed in your current vocation? You’re not alone. Many of us are stuck in dead-end jobs that are incredibly difficult to be passionate about. In fact, you may audibly groan every time the alarm clock awakes you in the morning. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Honestly, I’ve seen more people start doing this thing called “web development” during their current 9-to-5 job and start not only loving it but making a serious living off of it. And WordPress is where it’s at. You can plug yourself […]

Contributing to WordPress and the greater community is a big reason why we continue to do what we do – we have a lot of thanks to give in terms of the lives that we get to lead and the freedom to build businesses off of the software. It’s great and it’s a reason to give back. Tom, our technical editor here, just released the JavaScript Coding Standard in the WordPress Codex and has been working on it for the last few months: [O]ne of the things about the WordPress Coding Standards that’s always seemed incomplete to me is how little […]

When most people start off blogging they don’t know a thing about coding. After all content is king, right (or design if you ask some people but that’s a debate for someone else)? Whatever the most important element is, for most people it isn’t coding. After all, a good blogging platform should have low entry requirements and highly usable interface where any noob can just turn up and start using it. WordPress, of course, fills this description with it’s visual text editor, themes, plugins and widgets that can help people get a good standard site with no knowledge of coding…but […]

There are many different ways a website can get made. Ideally, a designer will work alongside a front-developer to get a working prototype ready, and a backend developer will adapt this to a CMS like WordPress. But the nature of our business often dictates that you will be balancing a couple, if not all, of these duties. And clients expect us to move quickly. It is very tempting to just start developing a theme on top of some framework and come out with a finished product. But next time you are in this situation, take a step back. Then create […]
