Taken from http://html5doctor.com/using-aria-in-html/ Using ARIA in HTML Saturday, June 21st, 2014 by Steve Faulkner . ARIA ( WAI-ARIA if you want to be formal) is a set of attributes that you can add to HTML elements .

The most popular blog post  was the previous blog about the usage statistics for this blog. I am not sure why this is the most popular but as it is, here is an update on that blog entry for the whole lifetime of the blog. The figure above shows the summary of the usage overall over the lifetime of the blog.

Suitability Amazon is appropriate for both new and previously developed material is being migrated. Again static web content is easier to migrate. Integration with tools such as Google Analytics and WebMaster tools is relatively simple, especially if you start by adding Google Analytics first (you can use the Google Analytics account) to verify the web account. Things to remember Uploading files is relatively easy but I have been caught a couple of times: First way, and the most embarrassing, make sure the links actually point to the links within the Amazon site. It is fairly easy when migrating the site across in one go to have links to the 'old' site. slightly less embarrassing is when you upload the files you need to change the permissions to make public. It can be done late by right-clicking on the page in the AWS Management Console and selecting make public.  Adding users Other users can be given access to the website by using the permissions.
