As a state agency, it's important to make sure our online content is available for everyone, and this includes video and multimedia content.
Thank you Sam for a recap of day one!
As always great to have a refresher as to why we need to do a good job at what we do, and put a face with the reasons you are taking the additional steps to make your content accessible. Thoroughly enjoyed the conference again this year.
In case you were too busy working or something, here is what you missed. If you've perused some of Jared Smith's presentations in the past, some ( well actually, a lot) will seem eerily familiar.
We've had a few inquiries lately on tools to use to check for ADA compliance and questions related to accessibility. One of the best 'go to" resources I've found is WebAIM (http://www.webaim.org).
Sam and I have been working on mobile styles the past few weeks and today I have made them live on DOR's main website. Last week we got a mobile style switcher put in place (to switch from the mobile version to the desktop version) and it has been enabled on SEMA's site, and MoB
Sam added the ability when using the mobile style sheet to switch from desktop to mobile, and vice versa. You can find these changes by cloning or pulling the repository from Moforge.
Later versions of TortoiseHg check for a valid SSL certificates when accessing a repository using https. The certificate used on Moforge is self-signed and therefore will cause TortoiseHg to throw an error when accessing the site.
While working on a Wordpress project recently, we came across a situation where the Wordpress admin bar was not displaying how we wanted it to. The "Edit Page" menu item had been replaced with "Edit Category". It turns out wp_reset_query() function was the solution.
I have added a couple really new cool things to assets! Sam Minter (thank you Sam!) has worked up a mobile style sheet for the 960 grid to collapse it for mobile use by using CSS media queries (detecting the size/resolution of the screen and applying the mobile styles). Nice work Sam!
