Y’all know I couldn’t leave this one Alone…
“Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us, only sky”
The RACER article’s title simply made my blood
boil! Since RACER has made it’s website a veritable piece ‘O Horse Puckey for
Mwah!
“What can Brown do
for You?”
The title in question was New RACER magazine
gets into reimagining mode, No shit Sherlock!
For those unaware, RACER launched it’s new
& improved, Cough-cough, Bullshit! Website on May 12, 2025. When I
discovered just three days before that year’s Month ‘O May festivities began in
earnest. That my screen reader could no longer read any of the RACER article
titles or Author’s Bio bylines, WTF!
Turns out that RACER regrettably decided to go
All Tokyo Fly by Night Flash Grenades Dry Ice on it’s website redesign, Sigh!
Unfortunately this included turning All of said
article Header titles and Authors names into graphics, which screen readers
cannot read!
And its now over one year since I first
contacted RACER about this matter. Having swapped numerous emails supposedly
with their Webmaster, Programmer along with the Editor, all to no avail!
As RACER refuses to make their website WCAG
(Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliant. The Internet forum’s
guidelines for making it accessible to everyone on the planet, including those
visually impaired and Blind.
Can you Hear me now RACER?
Yeah, I know I’m taking the RACER article’s
title somewhat out of context, But! Imagine instead of having to play
Wack-Ah-Mole by blindly opening every single unreadable story link, which my
screen reader reads out loud as: Link Article page, Link Article category, Link
Article page, By, Author’s profile page.
And that’s before we even get to the issue of
how retarded the various individual racing section pages, i.e.; F1, IndyCar,
IMSA, etc. are.
Each having the exact same myriad of Most
Popular articles to page down thru before getting to the individual section I
chose.
As you guessed it, those redundant Most Popular
article titles also simply read out loud as link Article page, Urgh!
Yeah RACER, imagine your website being accessible to a longtime, Diehard Blind Motorsports enthusiast, Oh Never Mind! Why would you bother doing that?
