We\u2019ve been going strong ever since, and we\u2019ve recently felt due for a makeover.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re thrilled to unveil our new website at our brand-new domain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.disabilityinkidlit.com\"><strong>www.disabilityinkidlit.com<\/strong><\/a>! Update your bookmarks, links, and RSS feeds, all!<\/p>\n<p>We wanted a site that was clean, easy to navigate, accessible to all, and visually appealing. We think we succeeded, and hope you agree! Huge thanks to Corinne for all the work she put into making this site a reality, and to <a href=\"http:\/\/jessiesparza.com\">Jessi Esparza<\/a> for our beautiful new logo.<\/p>\n<p>Exciting new features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Far easier browsing! Instead of scrolling down entire posts, we now simply list our posts with descriptive excerpts.<\/li>\n<li>Improved handling of authors, including a proper byline with co-author support \u2014 no more unwieldy post titles! \u2014 and <a href=\"http:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/author\/corinneduyvis\/\">marvelous author pages<\/a> including bios and contributions.<\/li>\n<li>A brand-new <a href=\"http:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/content\/\">search function<\/a>, allowing you to search by age category, genre, disability, post type, or all of the above.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/content\/\">Grouped tags<\/a>, allowing you to search by other topics, such as assistive tools or titles.<\/li>\n<li>Increased accessibility, including skiplinks, improved use of headers, and easy links to increase font size or contrast.<\/li>\n<li>Prettier links. Want to see our mental illness-related posts? Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.disabilityinkidlit.com\/disability\/mental-illness\">disabilityinkidlit.com\/disability\/mental-illness<\/a>. Or perhaps everything we&#8217;ve covered about disability in fantasy books? <a href=\"http:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/genre\/fantasy\">disabilityinkidlit.com\/genre\/fantasy<\/a> is the way to go!<\/li>\n<li>And lots of other minor improvements here and there!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you run into any problems, do let us know.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to our new-and-improved look, we&#8217;ve got some wonderful things on the horizon. In April, we\u2019re hosting our <strong>Autism on the Page<\/strong> event, which will feature daily posts \u2014 reviews, articles, and interviews \u2014 from autistic contributors. This will be a fantastic resource for all things autism in kidlit, and we&#8217;re beyond excited.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also thrilled to announce we\u2019re compiling a Recommended Reading list of books we\u2019ve vetted and have given our official stamp of approval. It\u2019s our most requested resource (especially by librarians and teachers looking to expand their collections) and something we\u2019ve been eager to curate for ages. Look for that around late spring\/early summer.<\/p>\n<p>As always, thank you to all our contributors and readers for your continued support!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A gorgeous look, a brand-new domain, exciting new features, and more on the horizon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":"","kt_blocks_editor_width":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"genre":[],"age_category":[],"disability":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2127"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7045,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2127\/revisions\/7045"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2127"},{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=2127"},{"taxonomy":"age_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/age_category?post=2127"},{"taxonomy":"disability","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disabilityinkidlit.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/disability?post=2127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
