🌟 New

We’ve rolled out dashboard tab configuration options to everyone. We’re still working on adding the ability to change the default tab between Following and For You. Also, if you were in the experiment and had enabled certain tabs, like Popular Reblogs and Blog Subs, please note that those settings have moved back to the Tumblr Labs settings, instead of being configurable options in the new config screen.

We’ve deployed some performance and stability improvements for browsing feeds through the site, including the ability to truly handle endless scrolling. If you disabled endless scrolling in your dashboard preferences on web because it was laggy, give it another try! If you disabled it because you like paged browsing better, keep on keeping on! You’ll still benefit from these improvements.

We’re working on improving search across Tumblr, and one of our latest experiments is to try surfacing posts in search results based on image recognition. If you search for something on Tumblr and it returns a bunch of images that aren’t actually related to what you searched for, and have no other text or tags to indicate why you’re seeing it, please send us some feedback via Support about it, providing the search term you used and what posts didn’t make sense.

In the post editor on web, you can now choose to convert a link block down to an inline text link if you’d like, via the meatball menu on the link block that’s generated when you paste a link.

We’re shortening the ask button label maximum length to 26 characters, and providing better error messages when exceeding that limit.

Replies/reblogs/likes from blogs that have blocked the author, or the author has blocked, will no longer appear in the notes view on your posts for anyone.

We’re now filtering asks and submissions from blogs that have blocked the receiver.

🛠 Fixed

We fixed an issue on the Following and For You tabs that was sometimes causing it to take 10+ seconds to load subsequent pages as you scroll.

In the post editor on web, we’ve fixed a variety of issues with copying and pasting and selecting text.

Clicking to like a post while logged out, and then logging in, now brings you back to the post, instead of bringing you to Explore.

When uploading media in the post editor on the web, the “Post” button stays disabled until the media finishes uploading.

Removing a reblog or reply from the notes on your post removes the associated activity item as well.

Folks can no longer mention blogs that they’ve blocked or are blocked by — this was already covered in most circumstances, but we’ve fixed a few rare cases that have popped up where people have gotten around it.

how to install dashboard unfucker (for desktop)

hi i use desktop and i use the dashboard unfucker extension by dragongirlsnout and you should too because it's awesome. i don't know much about computers so it was intimidating to set up but ended up being really easy.

but first:

what is dashboard unfucker?

dashboard unfucker is an extention that makes being on tumblr bearable again.

(ID: 2 screenshots of tumblr with urls/posts etc censored. the first is with the new layout, with labels on the left, the ad-free button, "check out these blogs," "explore all of tumblr," the radar, and no easy way to access your own blog. the second is with the extension enabled, the left hand side of the screen is empty, posts are wider, navigation icons are back at the top right, and the only thing on the right-hand side of the dash is the dashbaord unfucker and limit checker and tag replacer from xkit. end ID)

i got it for layout changes like these- the first is cramped and ugly and i feel like i'm on twitter. the second is warm and comfy and i can make my posts wider (i dont like all the empty space). (limit checker, tag replacer, and post color were done on xkit and palettes respectively, not unfucker, btw)

with the dashboard unfucker you can:

hide the following/blog subs/for you etc tabs

get rid of the changes/staff picks/etc carousel

hide recommended blogs and tags

add profile pics back to posts

hide the radar

hide the explore page

hide tumblr shop

hide user badges

highlight bots in ur activity feed

show who follows u in the activity feed

make posts wider/slimmer and move the dash posts position to the left/right

revert messages design (and make the messages box bigger)

revert activity feed to the old design

display vote counts on polls

show poll results without clicking (no more skewing polls or "see results"!!)

disable tumblr domains

add polls to reblogs

disable "post without tags?"

show ns.fw posts

and other things that i probably missed copying this from the settings!!

so how do you do it? it seems scary but it's easy actually. take my hand

(note: i did this on firefox and tested it on chrome, i'm not familiar with other browsers, also use firefox if at all possible fuck chrome)

how to install dashboard unfucker

step 1: install either tampermonkey, tampermonkey beta, greasemonkey, or violentmonkey (if you don't already have it)

note: im using tampermonkey as an example because it's what i use

step 2a: go to firefox extensions/chrome web store/your browser's equivalent

step 2b: look up "tampermonkey" and click "add to firefox/chrome/whatever" and confirm

step 2c: you're done! yayyy

step 2: click this link. look under "installation" where it says "Click on unfucker.user.js to install or update". and click that

(ID: a screenshot of the tampermonkey install page, showing dashboard unfucker v5.7.8 installation information, the source code, and the install/cancel button. end ID)

(it should open in a new tab and look like this)

step 3: click install! (when i did this it didn't look like much happened and i got scared. dont get scared take my hand)

step 4: go to www.tumblr.com and to the right of the dash it'll have the dashboard unfucker label to the right!

(ID: the default dash again, but with the dashboard unfucker title at the top right of the right-hand side of the dash. end ID)

step 5: click the little gear icon and all the options will pop up! u can fuck around with em to ur heart's content. i recommend exporting after ur done and saving it somewhere in case u have to uninstall/reinstall to troubleshoot or smth

you're done! now u can see the results of polls without clicking them and other such things

(ID: a poll i have not voted on. it has 17 votes and 23h 56m remaining. the title is "poll :)" and the answers are "answer 1" "answer 2" and "see results". there are no percentage labels, but the amount each answer has is indicated by light blue bars in each result, as they would be if i had voted. end ID) note: i'm not sure how/if this aspect of the extension is indicated for screenreaders

THIS POST IS TRANSGENDER BTW!

Favorite Firefox Extensions

Firefox is a very extensible browser - through a combinations of addons and userscripts you can make it behave just about any way you want. The best part is, they're all free. Here are some of my favorites.

Note: if you have an Android device, check out my post about Firefox for Android's new extended support for addons!

Note: if you have an Apple device, check out my favorite Safari extensions here!

Last updated Feb 2025 (updated list of languages supported for native, local translation by Firefox).

Index:

uBlock Origin

Tab Session Manager

Sauron

Bypass Paywalls Clean

Auto Tab Discard

Video DownloadHelper

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

TWP - Translate Web Pages

UnTrap - YouTube Customizer

Indie Wiki Buddy

Cookie Auto Delete

ShopSuey - Get Rid of Ads on Amazon and Ebay

LibraryExtension

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

uBlock Origin

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

This is the first addon I install on any new Firefox browser. It's an adblocker, but at its core it can remove pretty much any HTML element from a website, and it comes with pre-configured lists for removing everything from ads to cookie banners to those annoying popups that ask you to sign up for email newsletters.

Tab Session Manager

Have you ever accidentally lost all your open browser tabs due to a computer update, or even just accidentally closing Firefox? With this addon you no longer have to worry about that - it automatically saves your open tabs and windows every time the browser closes, and autosaves a restore point of tabs every few minutes in case the browser crashes unexpectedly. Opening all your previous tabs and windows is a one-click deal.

Sauron

Ever wished your favorite website had a dark mode? With Sauron, now it can! Sauron attempts to intelligently figure out how to edit the color scheme of the web page (including text) to make it dark-mode friendly. It preserves the original color of images, but dims them so that they don't blind you. You can disable image dimming or dark mode on a site by site basis too. It's not perfect since it is making guesses about which colors to change, but it goes a long way toward making the internet an enjoyable place for me.

Bypass Paywalls Clean

This addon removes paywalls from hundreds of news websites around the world or adds links to open the article in a wrapper that provides the article text (like the Internet Archive etc.)

Auto Tab Discard

Ever wanted to keep a tab open for later use, but you notice the browser getting slower and slower the more tabs you have open? Auto Tab Discard will automatically "hibernate" tabs that you haven't used in a while so that they use less resources on your computer. It's smart enough not to hibernate pages that are playing media (like YouTube) or that have forms you haven't submitted yet (like job applications). You can customize how fast it puts tabs to sleep too and exclude certain websites from hibernating at all.

Video DownloadHelper

This addon can download streaming videos from most modern (HTML5) websites, and even finds soft subtitles that accompany the stream and downloads those too. Just browse to the webpage that has the video on it, click the icon in the Firefox toolbar, and select the video you want to download and click "Quick Download". For YouTube I would recommend using a YT downloader website (like KeepVid) to download the video directly, but Video DownloadHelper really shines for websites that aren't popular enough to have dedicated downloader websites like that. I've used it download videos from a Japanese film festival streaming portal, news websites, etc.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

This addon allows you to blacklist websites and completely remove them from Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo search results. Don't want to see image search results from AI websites? Blacklist them. Searching for tech support advice and getting frustrated by all the auto-generated junk websites that stuff themselves full of SEO terms to jump to the top of the search results without actually providing any information at all? Blacklist them so they don't come up in your next search. Conversely, you can also whitelist websites that you know and trust so that if they ever come up in future search results, they'll be highlighted with a color of your choosing for visibility.

TWP - Translate Web Pages

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Does what it says on the tin: auto-detects a website's language and provides a button that can translate it to a language of your choosing. You can also just select individual text on the page and translate just that. Note that this sends whatever text you translate to the servers of your selected translation service (Google, Bing, Yandex, or DeepL), so keep in mind the privacy implications if you don't want your IP address associated with having read that text.

Edit: As of version 118, Firefox now has the ability to translate text locally on your computer, without needing to send it to a cloud service. You can enable this in Settings -> Translation -> Install languages for offline translation. Note that at this time (Feb 2025), 31 languages are supported - Russian, Korean, Chinese (simplified), and Japanese were recently added. More info here.

UnTrap for YouTube

(compatible with Firefox for Android and they have a Safari for iOS extension too)

This addon lets you tweak the YouTube interface and hide anything you don't want to see. For instance, I hide all the "recommended" videos that come up when you search YT now. They have nothing to do with your search, so they're essentially just ads YT puts in your search results. I also hide Explore, Trending, More from YouTube, and Shorts sections, but you can customize it to fit your preferences.

Note: depending on the particular set of tweaks you want to make to YouTube, you may prefer to use YouTube Search Fixer instead. User preference.

Indie Wiki Buddy

I loathe Fandom.com wiki sites - they are cluttered and filled with ads and autoplaying videos that follow you down the page as you scroll. The organization is also hostile - if a community tries to leave their platform and bring their content to a new wiki hoster, Fandom bans them from the platform and reverts all their deletions/changes. Indie Wiki Buddy attempts to find an independent alternative for the wiki you're trying to browse and automatically redirects you to it, and if one doesn't exist, it will redirect you to a proxy site like antifandom or breezewiki that shows the Fandom content but removes all ads/videos/background images so you can actually, you know. READ it.

Cookie Auto Delete

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Websites store "cookies" - little text files with info about you - on your computer as you browse so they can track you as you browse the internet. This addon automatically deletes cookies from a website a short while after you close the last tab you had open for that site. You can customize how long it waits before clearing cookies too. Note that this can sign you out of many websites, so you can whitelist any site you don't want cookies cleared for.

ShopSuey - Get Rid of Ads on Amazon and Ebay

Removes the ads/recommended products that clutter up Amazon and Ebay search results and product pages.

LibraryExtension

This fantastic addon recognizes when you are viewing a book on many popular websites and can automatically check whether that book is available in any of the library systems or subscription services you have access to, including how many copies your library(ies) have and how many are currently checked out. The best part is it shows the availability for physical books, ebooks, AND audiobooks at supported libraries. The extension currently supports libraries in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, but it also supports some global repositories like the Internet Archive and subscription services like NLS Bard for the blind and print disabled, Kobo Plus, Libro.fm, Anyplay.fm, Bookmate, and Everand. Great extension for people trying to support their local library and also save money.

Filtering+ for Tumblr

This addon lets you add tags or phrases to your tumblr tag filters with two clicks, without leaving the dashboard. I've been asking Tumblr for this tag filtering behavior on their mobile apps (i.e. press and hold a tag to get a filter option) for at least a year now in asks and surveys, without ever stopping to see if someone had already implemented this on desktop. More fool me. This addon is from the author of XKit Rewritten. Note that the right-click tag filtering only works on the dashboard; it will not appear if you are on someone's blog. Right-clicking selected text to filter the phrase works everywhere based on my testing.

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

This addon does its best to re-enable the normal right-click context menu and copy/paste actions on pages that try to disable them. If you run into a site that messes with either of those, select this addon and check "Enable Copy," then try again. If that doesn't work, check "Absolute mode." It doesn't work everywhere, but I find it very helpful.

I study AI in uni rn, it’s a pretty interesting subject. There are plenty of people in this field that are genuinely passionate about the potentials of this technology and have real plans about how to use it to make disability aids or do archaeological surveys or identify melanomas or whatever. This post is not about them.

I noticed that especially on tumblr there’s a lot of people that have this idea that the average AI enthusiast is either a rabid accelerationist or just someone extremely lazy who doesn’t value creativity or process, only product. Now that's not everyone, there are a lot of people working on generative AI who think it can be used to do amazing things and want to see them realized. But holy shit, those are accurate descriptions far more often than I would have expected. We’re so fucked.

It will surprise no one that the amount of AI used in assignments is staggering. Give half a dozen students three months to work on a project and it’ll be >50% ChatGPT-generated code, >80% if you include the report they have to write on it. If you’ve been praying on the downfall of the AI industry, just know that in about 2 years they’re gonna be staffed by people who relied entirely on AI to get their degrees and they're not profitable _now_, let alone then.

My uni is one of many that have basically given up on enforcement. There’s no way to prove that an assignment was generated by AI so they often either don’t enforce it or grit their teeth and allow it. This is extremely frustrating if you’re trying to work in a group project. In the time I’ve been here, I have seen my groupmates:

On the day it was assigned, paste the entire 6-week 6-person assignment into ChatGPT, copy the code it generated without running it and immediately try to submit it on behalf of the group

get frustrated that ChatGPT wasn’t making usable code, I go help by giving them the exact solution to their problem, and then complain a few minutes later that it doesn’t work. I go check and they had pasted it into ChatGPT and asked it to add the next functionality, which then didn’t work

find a similar assignment on github, ask AI to “rephrase” it, and try to convince me to submit it

use AI to generate citations for the claims they just asked it to generate. this goes as well as you think

use Stable Diffusion to make a storyboard for a hypothetical product instead of drawing one. The people in the pictures were all busty anime women

take two pages of a report that I had carefully written over the weekend, ask ChatGPT to rephrase it, then replaced those pages with the AI versions to “make the writing style consistent”

tell professors to their face that they used ChatGPT to do most of the assignment while asking for help or clarification on their grades

pitch ridiculous business ideas to one another where the gimmick is always a type of AI slop that already exists. An AI newspaper, AI therapy, AI web designer, and like any good compsci genius, a stock-predicting bot

take an assignment where we had to gather a bunch of data, and ask ChatGPT to generate the data instead. Their datapoint distribution was insane but we were graded separately on that section so I have no idea how they justified it to the examiners

spend 3 hours of a 4 hour group meeting making Joe Rogan’s voice repeat things we said or explain parts of the assignment. Two people did this and we gave up on getting them to stop

get some genuinely laughable summaries of articles about AI safety and ethics, and then parrot them back to the tutor

a million billion gazillion times they wait til the last minute and then submit their part as a fully AI-generated script that they apparently didn’t even run to check if it worked. I eventually had to change gitlab permissions so no one can merge unless I personally review it first

display an extreme willingness to flaunt any and all data security protocols. We had classes on how to Not Do Illegal Things With Personal Data and still I end up fielding suggestions to just take a dataset from a country with less protections or (in hypothetical scenarios we had to write about) find loopholes in laws. I end up in the back of the group looking like I’ve been poorly taxidermied while I watch someone use ChatGPT to summarize the EU AI Act.

At this point I’m considering shifting my entire course of study towards AI safety and ethics. It’s difficult not to associate the development of GenAI with this sort of slow capitalist collapse of labor where actual creatives get pushed out by this sort of AI-driven parasitoid middleman class, that then just cannibalizes itself as tech improves.

I’ll probably save the ethics rant about the tech itself for another post but for now it’s worth keeping in mind that a lot of the people talking about how you losing your livelihood to AI is a necessary step for progress don’t really care about the tech — at least not enough to learn anything about it — they’re excited because they think they’ll be able to get rich quick grifting their bosses by automating their jobs.

Silm fandom! Have a PSA. Hate the piped tags on AO3? Would much rather read a fic tagged Fingon/Maedhros than one tagged Fingon | Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitimo? Have I got the userscript for you! Look how neat and readable my AO3 silm character tags look now:

What is a userscript?

Good question! The small sibling, who is a computer geek, did not know about these when I mentioned them, so I have to conclude I have stumbled upon some secret hidden wisdom here. In short, a userscript is a (free) program written in JavaScript that modifies the web pages you visit. They're very safe, and imo an essential part of customising your web browsing experience to your liking!

How do I install userscripts?

I might make a separate post about mobile browsers because I'm tired. But on desktop, you first want to get a browser extension that allows you to manage your userscripts. I like Tampermonkey, which works with most major browsers.

Okay, how do I get rid of the piped tags?

Once you've installed the userscript manager of your choice, you want to go to the userscript Ao3 De-Piped Tags on Greasy Fork and click the big green "install" button. For most userscripts, that's it! For this one, we need to take a couple of tiny extra steps:

Go to your Tampermonkey dashboard (you can find this by clicking on "browser extensions" and then "Tampermonkey". Unfortunately I don't know how other userscript managers work, so if you didn't choose Tampermonkey you'll have to play around a little.)

Click the "Ao3 De-Piped Tags" script on your Tampermonkey dashboard.

This should bring you to the "Editor" page, and a bunch of scary-looking code in JavaScript. Don't panic, I have no idea what any of this does and I still managed to do the necessary fiddling! The block you want looks like this:

//SCRIPT SETTINGS// const sideToDisplay = 'right'; //left OR right, for character tags with one pipe (two names) const partToDisplay = 'right'; // left OR right OR central, for character tags with two pipes (three names) const tagsOnFicPage = 0; //0 to disable, 1 to enable

4. All you want to do now is change the first line so that it reads

const sideToDisplay = 'left'; //left OR right, for character tags with one pipe (two names)

so that the tag "Maedhros | Maitimo" displays as "Maedhros" instead. If you're a Quenya freak (affectionate) who would prefer all the tags display characters' Quenya names instead of Sindarin ones, skip this step.

5. If you'd also like this change to show on the fic page itself, not just the AO3 search results page, change the third line of the code block to read

const tagsOnFicPage = 1; //0 to disable, 1 to enable

6. Save your changes to the file, refresh your AO3 page, and marvel!

I hate this and want to get rid of it.

No problem, you can turn off the userscipt or completely uninstall it from the Tampermonkey dashboard!

I want to display some names with the left part of the piped tag and others with the right part, is that possible?

Unfortunately not :( This also applies if you're in other fandoms (I hear The Witcher fandom is one such?) which uses piped tags where you want to use the right side of the tag.

Can anyone else see the changes I've made?

No! The userscript applies to your own browsing experience only, so you aren't messing with how anyone else's fics display when you use it.

This is magic, got any other cool userscripts for AO3?

Loads, most of them much easier to use than this one! Here are some links:

Put your "marked for later" button on the AO3 homepage

Add HTML formatting options to the AO3 comment box

Set your default posting language to English

Fix the bug where copy-pasting from Google Docs to AO3 puts spaces around all your italics

And here's a list of many more to peruse!

Cool, how do I get this to work on a mobile browser?

Yeah my laundry's finished now so I'm not typing all that out. Maybe tomorrow.

Inclusive Design Practices in Web Accessibility Standards

New Post has been published on https://www.justwebdevelopment.com/blog/inclusive-design-practices-in-web-accessibility-standards/

Inclusive Design Practices in Web Accessibility Standards

More than 1.3 billion people live with a disability today, according to the World Health Organization. Online, they still meet walls: missing captions, vague buttons, tiny hit areas. Laws are tightening, but the bigger motivation is simply good service. 

When we weave Inclusive Design Practices in Web Accessibility Standards into each sprint, we remove friction for everyone—shoppers on shaky Wi-Fi, parents juggling toddlers, commuters with one free hand.

Over the next few minutes (about 2,500 words), you will learn:

How inclusive design differs from basic “accessibility compliance.”

The key principles that underpin all modern standards.

Updates you must know in 2025—WCAG 2.2, the European Accessibility Act, the new U.S. ADA rule, and the draft WCAG 3.

Practical, bite-sized techniques you can add to projects today.

A maintenance rhythm that keeps inclusion alive after launch.   

  Inclusive vs. Accessible: Clear Up the Confusion

Accessible design focuses on meeting published technical criteria—typically WCAG success criteria. It answers the question, “Can a disabled visitor complete the task?”

Inclusive design starts earlier and digs deeper. It asks, “Does the experience respect the full range of human ability, language, culture, and context?” Put differently:

Accessible designInclusive designFixes barriers after they appearAnticipates and avoids barriers upfrontMeasures pass/fail against WCAGMeasures how many people feel left outOften handled by QA at the endBaked into research, sketching, copy, and dev

Embracing inclusive thinking helps teams move from retrofits to resilient solutions.

  Core Principles Behind Every Standard

Standards use different words, but four timeless ideas unite them. Remember the POUR acronym:

Perceivable – Information must arrive through at least one sense that a user can rely on.

Operable – Every function works with the tools a user has: keyboard, voice, eye-tracking, and switch device.

Understandable – Content, layout, and feedback remain predictable and plain.

Robust – Code works across browsers, assistive tech, and time.

WCAG 2.2’s nine new criteria live under these principles, and WCAG 3 (now in draft) is expected to carry them forward too.

  The Latest Web Accessibility Standards

The phrase above is the anchor you can use when linking internally: The Latest Web Accessibility Standards. Here is what “latest” means right now:

WCAG 2.2 (W3C Recommendation, 12 Dec 2024)

Adds criteria such as Focus Appearance (Enhanced) and Target Size (Minimum), addressing mobile tap errors and low-vision focus loss.

WCAG 3.0 (Working Draft, 12 Dec 2024)

Promises a friendlier scoring model (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and broader coverage of emerging tech, including VR and voice UIs.

European Accessibility Act (EAA)

Applies 28 June 2025. From that date, most consumer-facing websites, e-books, banking apps, and e-commerce platforms operating in the EU must align with WCAG 2.2 AA (or equivalent) or face fines.

United States—ADA Title II Final Rule

Effective April 2026–2027 (size-based), state and local governments must meet WCAG 2.1 AA at a minimum. Private-sector rule-making is expected next, but lawsuits already cite WCAG in court.

Keep a simple tracker in your backlog: list the standard, due date, coverage scope, and a single owner inside your team.

  Practical Inclusive Design Practices (Step-by-Step)

1. Structure First, Style Second

Write one, clear <h1> per page; nest headings in order.

Use <nav>, <main>, <article>, <aside>, <footer>—screen-readers leapfrog by these landmarks.

2. Color & Contrast

Minimum 4.5:1 ratio for body text (3:1 for 24 px bold).

Never rely on color alone: pair red/error with icons or text.

3. Keyboard & Focus

Every control is reachable with Tab, activatable with Enter or Space.

Provide a 2-pixel outline or comparable highlight that meets contrast rules when focused.

4. Input Slack

Targets at least 24 × 24 CSS px per WCAG 2.2.

Avoid “drag only” interactions; offer plus/minus buttons or list re-order shortcuts.

5. Alternative Text & Captions

Alt text answers: “Why is this image here?”

Live and prerecorded videos need accurate captions; add audio description if visuals carry meaning.

6. Motion & Media Queries

Respect prefers-reduced-motion. Offer a static fallback for parallax or auto-carousel features.

Support forced colors / high-contrast modes in Windows and Android.

7. Responsive & Flexible Layouts

Components grow or stack gracefully at 200 % zoom.

Use relative units (em, rem, %) rather than fixed pixels for spacing.

8. Error Prevention & Recovery

Label every form control; supply clear placeholders and visible labels.

Explain errors in plain language and describe how to fix them.

Preserve user input on validation failure.

Small, continuous checkpoints catch more than one giant audit.

  Designing for Mobile, Voice, and Multimodal Contexts

Inclusive experiences must travel with the user:

Touch gestures: Offer single-tap equivalents for multi-finger or swipe actions.

Voice UIs: Provide speech-friendly labels (“Search flights”) and avoid tiny, generic IDs (“button 12”).

Offline or low-bandwidth modes: Defer huge media, show progress indicators, and cache key tasks.

Dark mode: Ensure contrast in both color schemes; test with automatic OS toggles.

Consider the “bend test”: hold the device with your non-dominant hand while carrying groceries, and try to complete checkout. If you can, many users with limited dexterity can too.

  Testing and Validation Workflow

Automated scan (Lighthouse, axe-core) during CI build—catches ~30 % of issues.

Manual keyboard sweep—Tab through each template.

Screen-reader spot check—NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on Mac/iOS.

Contrast sampling—quick checks with browser devtools eyedropper.

Real-user testing—invite people with varied abilities; pay them, use their insights.

Schedule these gates: design hand-off, QA staging, pre-release, and every quarterly release thereafter. Document findings in plain language (“link lacks focus outline”) to keep reports actionable.

  Building an Inclusive Culture

Rules do not shift mindsets; stories do. Try these habits:

Open meetings with a 30-second empathy snapshot—a teammate demos a screen reader on yesterday’s build.

Add accessibility completion as a Definition-of-Done checkbox next to unit tests.

Celebrate wins: post before/after gifs of a fixed focus ring in Slack.

Budget for continuous training; bookmark W3C tutorials and run micro-workshops.

When leaders ask for ROI, share both risk (lawsuits) and upside: accessible sites load faster, reduce bounce, and rank higher.

  SEO and Business Upside

Inclusive design and search optimization often walk the same path:

Inclusive techniqueSEO boostUX gainSemantic HTML & headingsBetter crawl & snippet structureClearer page outlineAlt text on imagesImage search trafficScreen-reader contextFast, media-optimized pagesCore Web Vitals scoresLower abandonmentCaptions & transcriptsKeyword-rich text for botsUsable in noisy spacesLogical link textHigher click-through in SERPsEasier navigation

Google’s crawler reads almost like a screen reader. Meet one, please both.

  Road-Map: From Audit to Evergreen

PhaseWhat to deliverTime-frame1. SnapshotBaseline audit (auto + manual)Week 12. PrioritizeRank issues by impact & effortWeek 23. Fix criticalContrast, keyboard traps, and missing labelsWeeks 3–64. ValidateUser testing with assistive techWeek 75. DocumentPattern library snippets, inclusive copy guidelinesWeek 86. AutomateLint rules, CI scanners, PR checklistsOngoing7. ReviewQuarterly regression audits, update to The Latest Web Accessibility StandardsEvery 3 months

Pin this to your roadmap tool; give each step a single owner so nothing falls through the cracks.

  Conclusion: Inclusion Is Continuous

Inclusive Design Practices in Web Accessibility Standards are not boxes to tick, but conversations to keep alive. The standards will evolve—WCAG 3’s bronze-to-gold model hints at future flexibility—but the people behind the numbers simply want to bank online, learn new skills, or order dinner.

Let’s build a web where nobody needs to ask for an accommodation—because the door is already wide open.

Why a Well-Designed Website Matters for Dietitians

In today’s digital age, a website is often the first point of contact between a dietitian and a potential client. Whether you're running a solo practice, offering virtual consultations, or working as part of a wellness team, your online presence plays a major role in how people perceive and engage with your services.

Beyond aesthetics, a website serves as a practical tool. It informs, educates, and encourages visitors to take action. For a profession rooted in trust and personal connection, a website must reflect not only what you do but how you do it.

First Impressions Count

When someone visits your website, they’re often looking for answers — about their health, dietary concerns, or general well-being. Within moments, your site should communicate:

Who you are

What you specialize in

How to get started

Clarity and simplicity go a long way. Avoid overwhelming the visitor with too much text or medical jargon. Instead, focus on clear headlines, friendly copy, and a tone that mirrors how you communicate in consultations — supportive, professional, and relatable.

Prioritize Functionality and Ease of Use

While a clean design is important, a functional layout is essential. Your website should be easy to navigate, load quickly, and work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. Poor user experience can cause visitors to leave before they’ve even discovered your services.

Menus should be clear, service pages easy to access, and contact information visible from every page. Consider the entire user journey — from landing on the site to booking a session — and eliminate unnecessary steps. This approach ensures that your website supports your clients, not frustrates them.

Booking and Contact Features Matter

Convenience is key. Visitors should be able to book consultations without needing to send multiple emails or make phone calls. A simple, integrated booking system — especially one that shows availability — encourages users to take the next step.

Also include different ways to contact you: email, phone, contact form, or even messaging tools. Not everyone feels comfortable calling right away, so offering choices increases the likelihood that they’ll reach out.

Showcase Your Expertise

Your website is a platform to share your knowledge and build trust. Regular blog posts, FAQs, and downloadable resources can demonstrate your understanding of nutrition while helping visitors make informed decisions.

You might write about:

Tips for building healthy habits

Managing conditions like IBS, diabetes, or PCOS through diet

Nutrition for different life stages

Debunking food myths

High-quality content not only provides value to your audience but also improves your visibility in search engines. A well-structured blog helps attract organic traffic from people searching for relevant health topics.

Build Connection Through Authenticity

Dietitians work closely with clients on personal goals and challenges. Your website should reflect your personality, approach, and values. A short introduction about your background, credentials, and philosophy helps clients feel more at ease.

Consider including:

A professional but friendly photo

Details of your certifications and memberships

Testimonials from past clients (with their permission)

Any specialties or niche services you offer

Authenticity builds trust. It allows visitors to feel like they know you, even before the first appointment.

Ensure Accessibility for All Users

Your site should be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This means using legible fonts, descriptive alt text for images, sufficient contrast for readability, and ensuring your site can be navigated by screen readers.

Inclusivity also extends to the content itself. Use language that’s respectful, welcoming, and culturally sensitive. Avoid assumptions and strive to create a space where every visitor feels understood and supported.

Keep Information Fresh and Relevant

A website is not a static brochure — it should grow with your practice. Make it a habit to review your site regularly. Update your service offerings, add new blog posts, and remove outdated content.

This shows that your practice is active and evolving. It also improves your search engine ranking, which relies in part on fresh, regularly updated content.

Bringing It All Together

Your website is more than a digital business card. It’s a reflection of your practice, a source of support for potential clients, and a platform for sharing your knowledge. A thoughtful site communicates professionalism, care, and expertise — the same qualities you bring to your work every day.If you’re creating a new site or updating an old one, collaborating with a dietitian website developer who understands your industry can make the process smoother and more effective. From user-friendly features to content strategy, every detail matters when it comes to building a site that supports your goals and your clients' needs.

How to Boost Your Laptop's Performance: Tips and Tricks for Speeding up Your Device

Over time, laptops—whether they’re used for work, study, or entertainment—can become sluggish. Slow boot times, laggy applications, and overall performance dips can be frustrating, especially when you rely on your device for daily tasks. Fortunately, there are several strategies you can use to speed up your laptop without having to invest in costly upgrades. In this guide, we'll cover practical tips and tricks to boost your laptop's performance and get it running like new again.

1. Close Unnecessary Background Applications

One of the most common reasons your laptop feels slow is that too many applications are running in the background. Even if you're only using a few programs, others might be silently consuming system resources like CPU, memory (RAM), and storage.

How to fix it:

Check Task Manager (Windows): Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Under the "Processes" tab, look for apps that are using a lot of resources and close them.

Check Activity Monitor (Mac): Go to "Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor." You can sort by CPU usage, memory, and disk to see which programs are taking up the most resources.

Disable Startup Programs: Some apps automatically start when your laptop boots, which can slow down startup times. Disable unnecessary startup programs via Task Manager (Windows) or System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items (Mac).

2. Free Up Hard Drive Space

As your laptop fills up with files, apps, and updates, it can lead to slower performance. Operating systems need free space to work efficiently, especially when using virtual memory or paging files.

How to fix it:

Clear Temporary Files:

On Windows: Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool. Type "Disk Cleanup" in the search bar, select the drive you want to clean, and click "OK."

On Mac: You can manually clean up caches or use a third-party app like CleanMyMac to clear system junk.

Uninstall Unused Programs: Check your installed applications and remove programs you no longer use. On Windows, go to "Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program," and on Mac, drag unused apps to the Trash.

Move Files to the Cloud: Store large files such as photos, videos, and documents on cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud to free up local storage.

3. Upgrade to an SSD

If your laptop is still using an old Hard Disk Drive (HDD), upgrading to a Solid-State Drive (SSD) is one of the best ways to see a dramatic improvement in speed. SSDs offer much faster read and write speeds compared to traditional HDDs, which means faster boot times, quicker file transfers, and improved overall performance.

How to upgrade:

Check your laptop’s compatibility: Some laptops have an easily accessible storage compartment for upgrades. Others may require more complex disassembly.

Consider cloning your current system: If you're switching to an SSD, use software like Macrium Reflect (for Windows) or Carbon Copy Cloner (for Mac) to clone your current operating system to the new SSD.

4. Add More RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) plays a crucial role in multitasking and handling resource-intensive applications. If your laptop has 4GB or less, upgrading to 8GB or 16GB can provide a noticeable performance boost, especially when using memory-heavy programs like web browsers, video editors, or virtual machines.

How to upgrade:

Check your laptop's RAM capacity: Visit your laptop's manufacturer website or consult the manual to see how much RAM it supports.

Install additional RAM: If your laptop has a removable panel, you can purchase and install additional RAM sticks yourself. If not, you may need to take it to a professional technician.

5. Keep Your Operating System Updated

Operating system updates often include important performance improvements, bug fixes, and security patches. Running an outdated version of Windows or macOS can cause compatibility issues and performance slowdowns.

How to update:

On Windows: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on "Check for updates."

On Mac: Open the App Store and check under the "Updates" tab.

6. Disable Visual Effects

While visual effects like animations and transparency look nice, they consume valuable system resources. Disabling these effects can help speed up your laptop, especially if you're working on a machine with limited resources.

How to disable:

On Windows: Type "Performance" in the search bar, then select "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows." Under the "Visual Effects" tab, choose "Adjust for best performance."

On Mac: Go to System Preferences > Accessibility, and under "Display," check the box that says "Reduce motion" and "Reduce transparency."

7. Run a Full Virus Scan

Malware or unwanted software can significantly slow down your laptop’s performance. Viruses, adware, and other types of malware can use up resources and create unnecessary processes.

How to fix it:

Use antivirus software: If you don't already have antivirus software installed, it's crucial to do so. Programs like Windows Defender (Windows), Avast, or Bitdefender are great free or paid options.

Perform a full system scan: Run a comprehensive scan to ensure that your system is free of malware or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

8. Clean Your Laptop Physically

Over time, dust and debris can accumulate inside your laptop, especially around vents and fans. This can lead to overheating, which in turn causes the laptop to throttle performance.

How to clean it:

Turn off and unplug your laptop: Before you start, make sure the device is powered off.

Use compressed air: Gently blow compressed air into the vents to clear out dust and debris.

Clean the keyboard and screen: Use a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaner for the screen and keyboard.

9. Reinstall the Operating System

If all else fails, performing a fresh installation of your operating system can give your laptop a significant speed boost. This process eliminates unnecessary files, software, and settings that may have accumulated over time.

How to reinstall:

Windows: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and select "Get started" under "Reset this PC."

Mac: Restart your Mac and hold down Command + R to enter macOS Recovery mode. From there, you can reinstall macOS.

10. Use Lighter Software Alternatives

If your laptop is struggling with resource-heavy software, consider switching to lighter alternatives. For example, instead of using Photoshop, you could try GIMP or Paint.NET for basic image editing. For web browsing, Opera or Brave are lighter alternatives to Chrome.

Conclusion

Improving your laptop's performance doesn’t always require expensive upgrades. By implementing these tips, you can speed up your laptop and extend its lifespan. Whether you choose to upgrade your hardware, optimize your software, or clean out unnecessary files, there are plenty of ways to give your device a performance boost. Regular maintenance and good habits, like keeping your system updated and freeing up storage, can help keep your laptop running smoothly for years to come.

Remember, if your laptop is still underperforming after trying these tips, it may be time to consult a professional technician for further diagnostics. Authorized Toshiba  Service Centre in Nagpur provides professional services, maintenance, and warranty services for laptops, desktops, and other electronic products, ensuring genuine parts and expert support.

Hacked WordPress Website Repair & Clean Up Service

When you hear the words "hacked website," your heart probably skips a beat, right? Especially if that website is your WordPress site, the hub of your online business, blog, or brand. Getting hacked can feel like a nightmare—sleepless nights, panic about your visitors’ safety, and concern about potential damage to your reputation and income.

In this post, I’ll explain how a professional Hacked WordPress Website Repair & Clean Up Service can save you tons of stress, time, and potential losses. Even if you're a seasoned WordPress user, this guide can help you understand the urgency of repairing a hacked site and why expert help might be your best bet.

Why WordPress Sites Get Hacked

Let’s start with why WordPress sites get hacked in the first place. WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. While that's great for the platform's popularity, it also means hackers love to target WordPress for easy exploits. Think of it like a crowded marketplace; the more people, the more pickpockets. Some common reasons for WordPress hacks include:

Outdated plugins and themes: These can have security vulnerabilities that hackers love to exploit. Regular updates are crucial.

Weak passwords: It sounds simple, but “password123” isn’t exactly Fort Knox-level security.

Insecure hosting: Not all web hosts are created equal. Cheap or poorly managed hosting environments are often susceptible to attacks.

No SSL: An SSL certificate encrypts data between your website and its visitors. Without it, sensitive information like login details can be intercepted.

User roles & permissions mismanagement: Granting more privileges than necessary to users opens up security gaps.

So if your website is down, showing strange pop-ups, or worse, flagged as "unsafe" by Google, the odds are high that you've been hacked.

Symptoms of a Hacked WordPress Site

Before diving into the repair process, it’s important to recognize some of the signs that your WordPress site has been compromised:

Your site looks different: New pages or posts you didn’t create, changes in the homepage layout, or random content popping up—this is a big red flag.

You can’t log in: Hackers often lock out administrators after gaining access.

Visitors report suspicious activity: If users start reporting strange pop-ups, redirects, or malware warnings, it’s likely your site is infected.

Slow performance: If your site becomes unusually slow, it could be due to malicious scripts running in the background.

Search engine warnings: If Google or other search engines flag your site as compromised, you’ll see warnings in search results.

Suspicious traffic spikes: If your analytics show a sudden spike in traffic from unfamiliar sources, especially from suspicious countries, that could be a sign.

The DIY Approach to WordPress Cleanup

If you’re tech-savvy and willing to roll up your sleeves, here’s a basic process you can follow to clean up your hacked WordPress site:

Backup Your Website: Before you do anything else, create a backup of your site. Even if it’s infected, you’ll want a copy just in case something goes wrong during the cleanup.

Disable the Site: Put your site into maintenance mode or temporarily shut it down. This prevents visitors from interacting with an infected site, which could harm their computers or personal data.

Scan for Malware: Use a reputable malware scanning tool or plugin like Wordfence, Sucuri, or MalCare. These tools will help you identify infected files, malicious code, and any vulnerabilities.

Check for Users You Don’t Recognize: Go into your WordPress dashboard and check for any user accounts that don’t belong. If a hacker has created a new admin account, you’ll want to delete it immediately.

Update Everything: Ensure that your WordPress core, plugins, and themes are updated to the latest versions. Often, older versions have known security vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

Delete Unused Plugins/Themes: If you have old plugins or themes sitting on your site that you’re not using, get rid of them. Even inactive plugins can be vulnerable.

Reinstall Fresh Copies of Plugins and Themes: Sometimes the best way to ensure your plugins and themes are clean is by deleting them and reinstalling fresh copies from official sources.

Change All Passwords: Reset passwords for all users, and make sure they’re strong. Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords.

Restore from a Clean Backup: If you have a backup from before your site was hacked, restoring it could be the quickest way to get things back to normal.

Submit a Reconsideration Request: If Google has flagged your site as unsafe, you’ll need to request a review after you’ve cleaned it up. Head to Google Search Console to submit your request.

Why You Should Consider Hiring a Professional Cleanup Service

While the DIY approach might seem like a good idea if you're tech-savvy, it’s not for everyone. Cleaning up a hacked WordPress site can be a complicated and time-consuming process, especially if you’re not familiar with the inner workings of WordPress or malware detection. Here’s where professional hacked website repair and cleanup services come into play.

Here’s why hiring a professional is often the best move

Speed and Efficiency: Time is of the essence when it comes to dealing with a hacked site. The longer your site remains compromised, the more damage it can do to your reputation, your users, and even your search engine rankings. Professionals can quickly identify the problem and get your site back online safely.

Experience: Professional cleanup services have seen it all. They know what to look for and can spot hidden malware or backdoors that a novice might miss. They also know the most common vulnerabilities in WordPress themes and plugins and can harden your site against future attacks.

Ongoing Monitoring: Many cleanup services offer ongoing protection and monitoring, so once your site is clean, they keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. Think of it as having a security guard for your website.

Guarantees: Some services offer guarantees, so if your site is hacked again within a certain time frame, they’ll clean it up at no extra cost. That’s a nice layer of peace of mind.

Advanced Tools: Professional services have access to advanced malware removal and security tools that might not be available in free plugins or DIY methods. These tools can scan deeper and ensure every trace of the hack is removed.

Choosing the Right Cleanup Service

If you’ve decided that hiring a professional cleanup service is the right move, here’s what to look for:

Reputation: Do your research. Look for companies with strong reviews and testimonials from other website owners. A solid reputation is key.

24/7 Support: Hacks don’t always happen during business hours. Make sure the service you choose offers 24/7 support, especially if your website is critical for your business.

Clear Pricing: Be wary of services with vague pricing structures. A good cleanup service should offer a transparent, one-time fee or clear monthly pricing for ongoing protection.

Backup and Restoration Services: Many professional services will help you set up regular backups and restoration points to prevent future headaches. This is a huge advantage.

Preventive Measures: The best hacked website cleanup services don’t just fix the problem—they also help you prevent it from happening again.

Having your WordPress site hacked is a stressful experience, but it’s not the end of the world. With the right approach—whether you go the DIY route or hire a professional cleanup service—you can get your site back online, clean, and secure. Just remember that once it’s fixed, keeping it secure is an ongoing job. Regular updates, strong passwords, and monitoring are crucial to keeping hackers at bay. Whether you're running a small personal blog or a large e-commerce site, taking these steps will help you breathe easier knowing your site is safe.
