Hey @ilknureren, this is looking great! I have some small styleguide stuff around capitalization and the like, and then a couple of questions/requests for updates for you. Looking forward to publishing this 🎉

Updating the markup here to be a little more semantic about the quote.
Additionally, do we have a link to this quote's origin?

| [Accessible Rich Internet Applications](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/aria/), or WAI-ARIA is also a guideline that was created by WAI to increase accessibility. In particular, WAI-ARIA gives guidance on how to create accessible dynamic content and user interface components. | ||
|
|

| For example, ARIA can help developers divide the page into sections, kind of like a tab of index, so it’ll be easier for people to navigate the page. ARIA defines ways for functionality of the assistive technology. With the help of WAI-ARIA guidance and rules, developers can make websites accessible to all users. |

I'm a little confused on what you mean by "tab of index". Could you clarify?

Can we have a very high-level sentence or two describing what we'll be covering in this post? You could even repeat what you wrote for the background metadata.

@ilknureren We're so close! A few last suggestions to use "person" terminology in place of "user".
The other thing, could you also add yourself to authors.json? Only name and first are required, but feel free to also add website, photo, and biography if that's something you feel comfortable doing.
This will make sure you get credit on the site for all your hard work 🎉
