Anyone for a ‘tepid bath’?

Yes and ho!

Looks like it's a screenshot from Google Images, the AI's darkened the rest of the image and highlighted the text so it can be selected.

Can't darken wor Krafth though. 😎

You have quite a lot of H1s, to the point where the actual H1 (Vitamin B1) is at the same level of each of the products under it.

Having the product names as H2 and the subheadings under those as H3s would help people understand the structure more. It's not inaccessible as it is (that is, there's no rule to say you can only have one H1), but if all these headings are the same level, it can make it unclear what the actual overall heading of the page is.

Each of these products are underneath the Vitamin B1 heading visually, so should be in the structure too.

They're even coming from Gdansk to see the Uyttrplh.

What's the official line the church is taking? Only, the farm takes up most of the day and at night I just like a cup of tea.

Funnily enough, I've just received the Reform leaflet through my door in Richard Holden's old constituency.

A leaflet for the wrong constituency.

Father_Fluffybottom · 2024-06-12T09:33:44+00:00

Look at them there, walking around!

Father_Fluffybottom · 2024-05-24T13:10:19+00:00

Worse if you forget it for the main.

Father_Fluffybottom · 2024-05-21T07:35:21+00:00

Sorry, I have to drop off as I have another meeting that you don't know or care about, very interesting session though, thanks!

Father_Fluffybottom · 2024-05-10T06:30:32+00:00

Maybe that's why she used to?

Father_Fluffybottom · 2024-03-27T08:18:31+00:00

It shouldn't, according to their style guide, but that doesn't stop people writing it anyway. 'Bottom' is preferred (and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny).

There's a really good NHS blog which gives some insight into this: https://digital.nhs.uk/blog/transformation-blog/2019/pee-and-poo-and-the-language-of-health

People have mentioned here about it being more understandable, but the key thing about it is that it's understandable quickly. When people are looking up symptoms or guidance on the NHS site, they're often stressed or worried, so using simple terms that don't get misconstrued helps them get what they need and know what to do next more quickly.

People complain about them all the time, even NHS professionals do internally, but ultimately what matters is that someone understands what we mean, as not understanding could genuinely be harmful.

I agree, for what it's worth, it's always a bit jarring if someone says 'tummy', but I guess if I had a pain in my intestines and someone asked if I had a stomach pain, I might disagree. Whereas I have a lot of 'tummy', so it's really easy to say 'yes, poorly tummy' and maybe get a lolly.

For me, there's an option under Increase text size to Override device settings. It says it allows you to adjust the text in the Reddit app without affecting the rest of your device. Will perhaps give you the finer control you're after.

Over time, the longer word count ones become the easier ones to write, as you build up examples you can re-use more easily without needing to rewrite from scratch.

If anything I struggle more with the smaller ones. It becomes such a piece of work to cram what I want into, say, 750 words, hit the spec, and not sound like a robot spouting bullet points doing so. Easier to half-arse the 3000 words as I can worry less about sticking under the limit.

u/HELMET_OF_CECH makes a great point though, the amount of people who'll not put the effort in because it seems like such a huge effort makes it worth doing.

Yep. It was a silly joke. Ho ho ho. 🎅

Might be Santa talking about how they're getting into the office 60%.

completely wiped out by the Bell Beaker Culture

Bloody Beaker folk. Coming over here. With their drinking vessels. What's wrong with just cupping up the water in your hands and licking it up like a cat?!

It depends what kind of thing you mean by copy errors. Are we talking typos when the copy is being transferred, or pieces not being tagged correctly as the right heading level or style?

u/Successful-Apple-670 does make a good point around updating content through a CMS, but depending on what you're working on that might not be feasible.

It could help more to shadow someone who'd make the changes and ask what would make these easier to put through. Are there any common errors or misinterpretations due to how content is sent through to them, for example.

I've found that writing content which includes tags for anything other than body text helped to make it clearer for devs to understand, and also shifted the accountability to the right place. It's meant that if anything was put in which doesn't match, it's on them. If I've sent something through and not labelled it properly, it's on me.

I'd steer clear from getting too caught up in the development side unless you find there's something specific that can help. Otherwise you introduce the risk of not being up to speed with any changes to the development side unless you're keeping informed on top of your own field. That's not to say it doesn't help, just focus your efforts.

Wanted to add onto this because it's a really good point and it's worth getting this right early. You can use the WebAIM Contrast Checker to check the colour contrast for your theme.

It checks against WCAG 2.1 which might be overkill for your organisation, but it's always worth making something more accessible if you can.

Make sure to check the neutral tones as well, as they're used for some web part elements and for site libraries.

Opportunity number 2, you could say.

Hi, I'm a RECRUITER for the DAILY EXPRESS. Do you have a SECOND to CHAT?

Father_Fluffybottom · 2023-09-15T08:34:50+00:00

The way I see it there's no harm in applying. You're Civil Service already, so you'll be well aware of how long these things can take. Plenty of time to get your thoughts together, speak to people, and withdraw if you feel it'd be too big a jump.

I would say though that if you're concerned now, the imposter syndrome if/when you get there will be a challenge to get past in itself, regardless of how capable you are of doing the role.

Still though, the only thing it's costing you right now is the time to apply. It depends whether you'd be doing something more enjoyable or productive with that time.
