Last week we published the annual EMC Email Accessibility Report for #GAAD.
We tested about 400,000 emails and 99.97% failed.
Only 2 senders out of 2,362 unique domains passed without issue.
#EmailGeeks go and test your emails, most of these issues are very quick fixes.

Hiya #EmailGeeks I was on Notes From the Dev with https://bsky.app/profile/megcodesemail.bsky.social
Go and check it out, I talk about how to create some very cool nostalgic WordArt in email.
If you don't think WordArt is groovy, hip and fly then why are you following me?

great post by @capjamesg #WebStandards
The web is a part of most people's lives. The web is open. You can publish a website where you share your thoughts on the world, share your art, publish poetry, collate your photography, share videos, and more. You can write a blog post on an academic subject or something of personal significance. Then, you can share what you create with anyone with a web browser. You can do this in an afternoon. Your website should work on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers. It should work across devices, too.
For anyone interested in email accessibility keep an eye out for the next EMC accessibility report in May. In the last report 99.97% of emails failed basic tests https://emailmarkup.org/en/reports/accessibility/2023/
Also you check your emails code in the (free) Parcel accessibility checker https://parcel.io/docs/dev-tools/accessibility-checker the same tool used for the EMC report.
Great look into email accessibility (or rather lack of accessibility) https://axesslab.com/inaccessible-marketing-emails-suck/ from @ErikGustafsson also video available at https://www.deque.com/axe-con/sessions/inaccessible-marketing-emails-suck/
Coding email can be very complex, but these examples are failing on the basics.
The question I get asked most often.
“Mark can you please team up with Bagpuss to explain, how to use border-radius in HTML email with up to 8 values?”
Well here's what you've all been asking for
