Here are 2 accessibility things I've learned over the years: Max line length for reading should be 55 to 66 characters including spaces. 2) Large blocks of text are hard to read for many disabilities and general readers, good rule of thumb is 4-6 lines or 4-5 sentences long to give eyes reading breaks.
Hyperlinks should always describe what they are clicking since screen readers often jump to links to navigate the page. Instead the link saying something like "click here" it should describe where the link is going like the title of the article or webpage or the purpose of the link like "how to code my accessible layout here".
Using bolds and italics sparingly is indeed good to avoid eyestrain or migraines for readers, but using headings or bolds before different sections of your articles/posts can be helpful for navigation of screen readers (they can jump to html eadings just like they can links), scan reading, and breaking up the paragraphs in described chunks.

Thank you! Most of these are things I knew but totally forgot to add 😅 typical me
