jQuery Date and Time Picker

Published: 8/8/2018 6:45 PM

Description

During the initial development of the administrative tools for this site, I required a date and time field to represent the published, created and last modified dates. Due to time constraints, I just tossed on the default date picker included with the jQuery UI library. The problem with this solution is that it doesn't support selection of time, only dates. Time to find a better solution.

Some of the objects in the structured data of the site are causing me issue. Namely the itemlist object. I am going to dig through the schema.org page and anything else I can find to see if I can address the issue that is being reported by Googles Structured Data Testing Tool.

TinyMCE - Free WYSIWYG editor

Published: 7/19/2018 12:00 AM

Description

TinyMCE has been around for a long time as a full featured "what you see is what you get editor". It's been a few years since I have used it, so I think it's time to check it out again. Somewhere there was a reference to the release of a cloud based version with additional features. I hope there is still a free community version.

Best Practices: ADA Compliance and Links

Published: 7/8/2018 12:00 AM

Description

As I was making a few updates tonight, an old ADA Compliance practice came to mind that I just noticed I had become lax on. The usage of detailed text for hyperlinks is a must for my personal best practices list. The generic or vague "Click Here" is just not acceptable. It's time to use some detailed link text.

Google DevTools was showing an issue with anchor tags that opened a new window. The suggestion provided by the Google DevTools audit system was to add a relationship attribute to the anchor elements with a value of "noopener". I want to find out more about this attribute and value to see why it is suggested.
