Uh...Addenda

Every time I try to add the link to the landing page for the Rose and Bay Awards, or link to the crowdfunding  community, I lose most of my previous post.

WTF!?!?!?!?

So these links are here, instead of where they should be.

Given that LJ is being so very very flaky for me right now, I won't try to do a poetry landing page tonight.

An accessibility issue? As in, one makes a post more accessible to search engines, or as in the two pieces of code are not equally usable?

No. Accessibility is about how accessible information is to people with disabilities or who are accessing the internet in a less than optimal situation in terms of their own physical limitations or the limitations of their hardware or software. Good accessibility aims to let all people access the information and have an equal or near to equal ability to work with it.

So the tag strong is read by ALL internet audio readers which means that people with compromised eyesight have these bold words emphasized for them.

Both bold and strong tags should be picked up the same when it comes to search engines.

I'm trying to remember where I read that, although search engines can read both [b] and [strong], [strong] acts more like a tag, and is seen as a more significant word, so when coding with an eye toward being searched, words in [strong] are more likely to draw people to your site, or words to that effect.

I can't personally vouch whether that's accurate, of course...

Oh, that's interesting. I've never heard that - but lol, html is always about weird stuff happening.

And the way things change on the net, even assuming it was true a few weeks ago, that doesn't guarantee it will be true tomorrow!
