   #WebAccessibility question for any willing to help:

   Attached is the general Swanye page layout; I'd structured tabbing to begin on the right side of the page on the premise that wanting to create a post, etc. would be the first things you might want available to you but, obviously, that then navigates the page right-to-left rather than left-to-right.

   For users who'd most use this, is LtR (starting with the posts of the page) preferred? Figured I should probably check before too much is built…

     Thank you! This is incredibly helpful. With the lack of feedback, I was just leaning towards doing L-R since that's probably what most users will be expecting (and I also remembered they'll be able to get to the right side quickly by just back-tabbing, first thing).

     Heh, you are the third consecutive person who's asked; it should be relatively easy (most of the buttons, textboxes, etc. are all stuff Tumblr has, just in a different layout) so I'll probably put it as a setting users
