  ..without adequate planning...the possibility of providing an accommodation to a person with a disability may be foreclosed...Use of an "ad hoc" or "as needed" approach to IT accessibility will result in barriers for persons with disabilities. A much better approach is to integrate accessibility reviews into the earliest stages of design, development and procurement of IT. Once an accessible IT architecture is established, then and only then can persons with disabilities be successfully accommodated on an "as needed" basis.

That jump in followers you’re experiencing is a little something I like to call the Laycock Effect. It’s similar to the Brogan Bump. Both are very cool social media phenomena.

LOL, thanks Lara. With my name, there are so many worse things you could have called it than the Laycock Effect. Though I dunno, I think I would have voted for the “Laycock lift.”

Andrea, those followers are deserved. Never hurts to just give folks a boost to help them find their way to where they would have ended up anyway.
