Here’s a smattering of goodies in the update: Over the past couple of weeks, we have slowly rolled out a spiffy new version of Tumblr on the web. You’ve treated many of us well, but #001935 will treat every single one of us even better. We hope, however, that this change only means newer, more bluespace art will be created, and that this time around it will be easier for everyone to experience.

You can read more about all that in our most recent post about the mobile web. Our inaccessible menus are more accessible, we fixed our poorly described elements, and increased overall readability. Over the past few weeks we’ve been making changes to do just that. We needed to make sure Tumblr was accessible to anyone who wants to use it. The result of that long, hard look? Not great. It outlines steps to take and tools to use to create as seamless of an experience online as possible, whether you have auditory, visual, or neurological disabilities, are using a limited device, are on a slow connection with limited bandwidth, or…well, a whole bunch of other reasons. This is the initiative that sets standards for accessibility for people who may need assistance using the internet. Some time ago we took a long, hard look at how we stacked up to the recommendations outlined in the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium.
