Getting Started With Accessibility - WordPress Accessibility Day 2022

Accessibility can be overwhelming and it can be hard to know where and how to get started. This talk will cover the basics, such as colour, images, headings, language, and more. This is a great beginner talk, but also a refresher for those who may have forgotten the basics or want to make sure they cover them.
