 * Well, if we’re being technical, it’s black on grey, and many see them just fine.
   But like I said, I appreciate your input and I’ll take the feedback into consideration.
   
   And this is a webcomic site. Most of our visitors come here to read comics, they
   know what they’re getting and understand the reference to “pulp,” which is a 
   comic book reference: pulp fiction. Which is clearly marked on the page (the 
   text passes Accessibility tests in terms of contrast ratio).
 * The focus, keyboard navigation, and skip link are in fact related as they all
   pertain to accessibility. And, as I said above, there is a list of issues I’m
   working to resolve one after the other.
 * I’ve added SEO descriptions on the back end for all my pages and images. The 
   SEO needs to be tweaked a bit (page titles are too long right now) but the SEO
   is not a problem. Just the Accessibility issues.

 * Hey Joy, thanks for getting back to me so soon, I appreciate it.
    Yeah, sites
   a bit of a mess right now as the accessibility tweaks are in flux at the moment.
   I was aware of of the missing skip to content link and the problems with keyboard
   navigation. The skip to content link is coming and the keyboard navigation issue
   is what I’m trying to resolve now, hence the questions about page headings and
   the tabindex and such. I’m surprised you couldn’t see or make sense of the menu
   icons, though. I’ll have to think about that.
 * The images on the home page are the cover of the books and they link to the interior
   pages of the comic books, which is where the lightbox is active. There is no 
   lightbox on the home page.
    Yeah, for the header images in the banner I had a
   hidden Easter Egg but I realized that was confusing and intend to change that
   as well. The general lack of overall text is a design issue. I’ll have to think
   about that. I have alt text for all the images and I have plans for screen reader
   text. I’ll have to explore the lightbox to see if it’s accessible. Thanks for
   the input about the tabindex and the feedback overall about the site. Lots of
   work to do but you’ve helped me tremendously. I think I’ll be able to work out
   all the issues now. Thank you once again for getting me on the right path. Hope
   all and everyone is well on your end. Stay safe.

 * Damn Joy, you’re like my Yoda. The first advice you gave me about using gallery
   plugins was right on, and now you’ve cleared the haze on issues I’ve been struggling
   with for months. Thank you so much.
 * One query about the answer you just gave, to be certain I’m understanding/explaining
   correctly. (Please excuse my ignorance on the topic, I’m not second-guessing 
   your expertise). In regards to the images being wrapped in links: yes, the header
   images are wrapped in links (when clicked they go to different pages) but the
   actual comic book pages only have the src link, and then those media files are
   served in a lightbox (via the Foobox lightbox plugin) upon clicking them. Does
   that technically qualify them as being linked or does that mean I should add 
   some focusable feature such as tabindex? Thanks again for taking the time to 
   answer.

 * Zing! Yes, that would be the easiest solution, but that’s not why I use the wonderous
   WordPress. I like that you can customize the platform to do what you like. Besides,
   I disdain most lightboxes. I think most look unfinished, or have poor aesthetic
   balance.

 * Well there you go. I had no idea what that was until now. That’s the benefit 
   of surrounding yourself with people smarter than you.
    I just looked it up and
   will do more research, but I use several galleries on my pages (it’s a webcomic-
   type site). I guess I’d have to add the same images in the editor, down below
   the galleries, and position them with CSS?

 * Hey Phil, I found this page in the WordPress Foogallery support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modifying-existing-hover-effect/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modifying-existing-hover-effect/)
   
   It covers how to tweak the font styles for the “Sarah” preset. I can probably
   adapt this to the “Ming” and “Oscar” presets, and then use that to modify the
   color of the “Oscar” overlay. Sorry to waste your time. As always I appreciate
   the timely, quality support.

 * Hey Phil, thanks. I appreciate you taking the time either way.
    The link is: 
   [https://www.theshadowmark.com](https://www.theshadowmark.com) It’s our home 
   page. All three images are using Foogallery presets but I’d like to 1) tweak 
   the size/style of preset fonts, and 2)change the color overlay to “red”for the
   second image.

 * Ok. I feel much better now. Had to vent a bit. With the Classic editor plugin
   the damage isn’t as bad but there’s still damage. Hopefully the Classic Editor
   plugin will continue past 2022 or WordPress will as it as an option instead of
   core.

 * I did install the classic editor.My problem isnt with Cloudflare, as I said. 
   Ever since I attempted to use the Gutenburg editor my site is f@cked. I have 
   to upload images several times just to get it to show once, my media library 
   stalls out and won’t show each image, plugins are f@cked – they won’t open and/
   or won’t deactivate… and on. This really needs to be fixed or I’ll be forced 
   to find another CMS. I can’t believe a company with this much experience can 
   so drastically ruin an established platform. I’ve been trting to rework *2* posts
   for two days!!!! Two posts! I should’ve been finished within minutes yesterday!!!!!!!!

 * No worries, there’s strength in numbers. Maybe someone will listen if we all 
   chime in together.
    The Cloudflare app is a plug-in used in conjunction with 
   the (mostly free) Cloudflare CDN. Among other things, a content Delivery Network
   caches your content around the globe to allow for faster downloads. However, 
   I wrote to my web hosting service and after reviewing the error logs it turns
   out that the Cloudflare app was *not* in fact the culprit. I plan to dig deeper
   tomorrow, as I’ve lost waaay too much time tonight trying to create a simple 
   post. I downloaded the classic editor. Even without the media library bugs Gutenberg
   is tiring. Blocks disappear, new ones appear out of nowhere, posts designed to
   be identical randomly change only to return to normal later on, and more. I don’t
   use a lot of plugins and prefer to keep my site lean, which WordPress stressed
   for years. Now, if you look at the code in Gutenberg, it looks bloated AF, just
   another page builder. If I wanted that, I’d have downloaded one years ago.

 * So I found the conflict. The Cloudflare app seems to interfere with the new editor.

 * Been trying to simply rework an old post, literally just rying to swap out the
   images with updated images. No exaggeration, 2 hours on the same post. WTF?
