Definitely don’t use a `title` on that link.

The four most popular ways to use RDF-based metadata on websites are RDFa-Core, RDFa-Lite, Microdata, and inline JSON-LD.
I can’t use RDFa-Lite because I need rel HTML attributes. rel silently upgrades RDFa-Lite to RDFa-Core, which parses differently. I doubt all parsers upgrade correctly; some will try to parse RDFa-Core as RDFa-Lite. Conformant RDFa parsers upgrade RDFa-Lite pages to RDFa-Core despite many authors only being familiar with RDFa-Lite. I suppose resources like Schema.org and Google’s documentation only documenting RDFa-Lite markup worsens the confusion. Update 2024-12-16: Sarven Capadisli has clarified on the Fediverse that this is the behavior of one faulty parser; rel only triggers an upgrade when used with an RDFa namespace. I may re-evaluate RDFa.
With RDFa split between two incompatible alternatives with a confusing upgrade mechanism, the alternatives are Microdata and JSON-LD. I use structured data extensively; JSON-LD would duplicate most of the page. Let’s use this relatively short article as an example. Exruct can convert the embedded Microdata into a massive JSON document featuring JSON-LD. Take a look at the JSON-LD and HTML side by side. Microdata attributes take a fraction of the footprint, encode the same information, and don’t require duplicating nearly the entire page.

Can anyone recommend an accessible course to learn html? It must work with NVDA. I've heard of Code Camp and W3Schools, but how accessible are they and how do they differ in content and style? I like courses with a structured approach, where things are explained i.e. a deductive and not an inductive approach. I usually don't need a tutorial, but I am fine with general instructions. In this case, though, exercises would be very beneficial. I am using this prior to beginning Part 2 of the Web Developer's course at Deque. I am not a developer, but they don't have one for accessibility testers.

Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”

Even though I know #HTML inside out and use it virtually every day, I'm still reading #HTMLForPeople by @bw because it's a prime example of how a good guide should be written.
1. The book is simple and easy to follow, with relevant points explained well enough even for non-coders to understand.
2. Images are clearly described for #blind readers through the use of #AltText.
3. The website is easy to navigate with a #ScreenReader.
4. There are no annoying pop-ups or ads on the website.
5. The book is entirely free of charge.

People on StackOverflow telling people to screw up #accessibility with the HTML dialog element defeats the purpose of using that element in the first place IMO.

Semantic Code In HTML: What Is It And Does It Still Matter?
Semantic code in HTML is still important in modern web development. It can improve accessibility, SEO, maintainability, cross-device compatibility, future-proofing, collaboration, and page load times.Paul Boag - User Experience Advice
Top `<table>` tips:
• Don’t span cells:
adrianroselli.com/2023/02/avoi…
• Don’t redefine column headers: adrianroselli.com/2022/02/colu…
• With one exception, you don’t need a `scope` attribute (the exception is sometimes the top corner):
tpgi.com/short-note-on-scoping…
• `column` is not a valid `scope` value:
html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage…
• Be wary of articles that don’t cite sources or testing when they make assertions about `<table>`.

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke
'Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work.'

TL;DR: Be careful when using the word grid on its own. Be certain you have chosen the term that accurately describes the pattern you want.Adrian Roselli
