Accessibility vs. WCAG2
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.
WCAG2 is, I believe, a blow against both accessiblity and web standards, restrict creative design, and obfuscate the basic principles of accessiblity (allowing everyone to access content in a recent ALA article -- more of a scathing burn than a report, really. And I would tend to agree.
In my next redesign, I think I'll use my common sense instead, thank you very much.
