I did it, I did it! I updated an open-source project (#blogdown) to improve accessibility! I uh, added alternative text to a footer image. Not earth-shattering, but small steps together add up, folks! Thanks to @xieyihui for approving the merge so fast!

Katie Lee (@ResourcefulSqrl; 11): I made a #blogdown website, but I want to test that it is #accessible for folks who use screen readers. Does anyone have any recommendations for best way to test it? I promise to make a reference blogpost about it so I never have to ask again.

Katie Lee (@ResourcefulSqrl; 10): @KStackWhitney The Jekyll instructions from GitHub were waaaay easier for me than forcing Blogdown onto Github, but I was unreasonably stubborn and procrastinating on revisions.

Andrew Ba Tran (@abtran; 0/0): @dhmontgomery I used to be, too! I just ran with Hugo because it’s so well-integrated with R Markdown/blogdown.

Katie Lee (@ResourcefulSqrl; 0/0): @JennyBryan @xieyihui This is why yesterday I purposefully stuck with a very shallow hole for my first #blogdown attempt! (I did start to try a more complex theme but scrapped that mid-day)

Jakub Nowosad (@jakub_nowosad; 10): @jj_fain Starting from the most basic: RStudio -> Help -> Markdown Quick Reference. Step two - https://t.co/Efjx55nbgA - tutorial and a lot of examples. Next, online books - https://t.co/254J1JV519 and https://t.co/3FMy754D4X. And finally, other people .Rmd code on e.g. GitHub. https://t.co/1PQlLaAkiP

JustinFain (@jj_fain; 10): @jakub_nowosad I’m really enjoying the Geocompr book, but I’m most impressed by the delivery method itself. Do you have any resources capable of explaining bookdown to someone who still formats rmd docs by trial-and-error? (Asking for a friend, of course)😅
