ARIA labels?

While checking my site with the opena11y toolkit a little while ago, I noticed that the page navigation links at the bottom of the home give an unclear link text warning, noting that the link text (which just uses the page number) is likely to be unclear to screen readers. The current and last page links have ARIA labels, so they don’t give an error, but the intermediate pages do.

I guess the recommended solution is to give the individual page links their own ARIA labels, and also to give the NAV element an ARIA label to the effect of “Page Navigation” in addition to its role=”navigation” attribute.

This Accessibility Matters article discusses how this can be done with ARIA labeling, as does the “Pagination” section of the A11Y Style Guide, but while I grasp the principles, executing this is way beyond me.

Is this something that could be fixed in a future update? I have 19 pages of blog posts, and I’d like to make those pages easy to navigate for screen reader users.

Thanks!
