In our member-only Live Q&A a few months ago, we got a question about how to add a table of contents to a blog post.

And it was a great question!

And, speaking personally, I love when table of contents are included in the articles and posts I’m reading because it allows me to understand the structure of a post while giving me direct links to sections within that blog post that I can easily jump to.

by Bjork on Aug 4, 2022 in ,

Most people are pretty good at protecting the physical products in their lives. We put insurance on our cars, cases on our phones, and locks on our bikes.

Then, in a moment of panic you looked in your computer’s photos folder, only to find that your pictures were missing as well? It’s rare, but it happens. Hence the reason for a blog backup!

3 Tips to Improve Your Blog’s Web Accessibility

Emily @ FBP
by Emily @ FBP on Jul 14, 2022 in

Did you know that more than 96% of all websites are not accessible to users with disabilities? As food bloggers, it’s so important that we make our websites and recipes accessible and that we share content that everyone, including those with disabilities, can enjoy.

Who benefits from website accessibility? LOTS of your readers! One in four U.S. adults in the U.S. live with a disability, and making your site more user-friendly benefits everyone, including:

  • People with visual impairments who may require a screen reader

  • People with limited hand motor skills, arthritis, or other mobility issues that make using a keyboard or mouse difficult

  • People with color blindness

  • Non-English speakers who use translation services

  • People with epilepsy who might be triggered by a bright screen, motion, or flashing images

  • Older readers (did you know that the average person’s ability to use a website declines by about 1% every year after the age of 25?)
