WordPress Accessibility Day 2023 will be held in September

The WordPress Accessibility Day organization has announced the dates for the 2023 edition of the event. The event is a 24-hour online conference open to everyone, and this year it will be held on September 27 and 28. Although it is an event that revolves around WordPress, it is very interesting because it highlights many practices that we can follow and learn from the techniques to make sites more accessible. In fact, in the 2022 edition I had the honor of participating as a speaker with the talk: How we made Joomla 4 accessible.

Joomlaverse in week 16 of 2023

This week the Joomla world has not been quiet, and we have the following relevant publications:

• From JoomlaShack, Steve Burge shares his experience after migrating JCal Pro to Joomla 4 and a clear request for Joomla 5.
• Tim Davis has shared several videos this week. He tells us how to fix a common mistake when migrating to Joomla 4, he has also made a comparative on module positions between Protostar and Cassiopeia. Finally, he celebrated the release of Joomla 4.3 and the new router for tags.
• Sergio Iglesias published an article in Spanish with 8 reasons why you should upgrade your website to Joomla 4 in which he clearly steals the name of the last episode of the Mastermind Web podcast (7 useful tricks in Joomla).
• Phoca Extensions published an article on how to install a child template in Joomla. At Mastermind Web we have made a episode of the podcast on what are child templates in Joomla and another video episode on how to create a child template for Joomla.
• Scala Hosting has published an article on how to build a PWA in Joomla. Unfortunately, they have gone overboard with the copy and paste and have mixed WordPress plugins in Joomla.... Still, it's an interesting guide to get you started!

And these updates of extensions:

• JCal Pro 5 is now available and is the first version compatible with Joomla 4.
• LineLab has released the free LBOX template. A template that as they tell us combines WPO, simplicity and flexibility And all this for free!
• From Cyberclick they wrote a very polarized comparison between Hubspot vs Joomla (in Spanish). Joomla's trends are not that down if they have to do an SEO article to rank for Joomla's name...

Finally, these new extensions caught my attention:.

• Kevin Guides offers Auto Scroll Spy, an extension to generate the index of your article based on the headers you have and also allows you to configure it to accompany the user while scrolling the page.
• Extensions to create forms are always in the number one request of newbies. Another option has entered the directory of extensions Custom XML Form, a module that allows you to create your own forms in Joomla using the same XML format as the native forms of the extensions.
