Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) this year is on 21 May 2026.
But why wait? Help make every day Global Accessibility Awareness Day.
Aim to make one small change every day to improve your website's accessibility.
If that is not practical for you then aim to do so once per week.
If all website administrators were to focus on improving digital accessibility then just imagine how much better the world would be for those who are currently digitally excluded.

At last the UK Government has implemented change for the benefit of small businesses and freelancers.
In response to improvements in how the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act is implemented, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Policy Chair, Tina McKenzie, was reported as saying:
“Paying in 60 days is not prompt - but strengthening that as the absolute maximum cap after years of dithering is a good step towards encouraging payments in 30 days across all supply chains."

I made a note in my diary a few months ago to write a blog post around now to highlight the forthcoming so-called 'Data Privacy Week'.

The Hacker News reported this week (15 December 2025) that "security researchers (have) exposed a cybercrime campaign that has (hitherto) quietly hijacked popular Chrome and Edge browser extensions" used by some 4.3 million users worldwide.
A "threat group" spent seven years publishing harmless browser extensions, letting them "run clean to build trust and gain millions of installs", then suddenly "flipping them into malware via silent updates."

Avoid websites impersonating websites for the consequences of not doing so can be severe.
We were reminded of this risk just this week when our cloud accounts provider emailed to warn of websites impersonating their login page.
And of course, all websites are vulnerable to being impersonated by crooks.
Why do they do it?
To harvest (steal) user login credentials and other personal data.
For starters, think twice before entering your login credentials, even when logging into your own website!
