When using images to convey important information, always provide a text alternative. This means including detailed alt text that describes the image's content and purpose. This helps users who rely on screen readers understand the information and ensures everyone can access the content. Accessibility is essential for inclusivity.

My creative side was very happy and engaged this week. I spent a few days in Boston at the Subscriptions for Authors Summit (put on by the awesome team behind Ream). Hanging out with a bunch of incredible authors, and talking about ways to delight readers with the stories we create, was fantastic. I also got to present a session about content accessibility. Even though it was a late-in-the-day session, the authors who attended were engaged, at times leaning forward in their seats, taking notes, and asking great questions. My focus on was on three key things they could do right away--using proper color contrast, creating meaningful alternative text, and writing good link text. My ask of them was that they also take this information and share it with their author friends and encourage them to do that as well. As much as the focus of digital accessibility is on larger companies, the responsibility falls on everyone who puts content on the internet, even if its only personal social media posts. We should all be making our content as accessible as possible, and to do that we all need to be talking about accessibility more to help ensure that it's something everyone knows about and can do. I don't know how that's accomplished exactly... but I will continue to do what I can to spread the knowledge. [Image description: Jeff on stage at the Subscriptions for Authors Summit. He's pointing at a slide describing how to use the WebAIM Contrast Checker. The slide includes a screenshot of the Contrast Checker, including the entry boxes for the hex colors of the foreground and background, the adjustable luminance sliders, the contrast ratio for the color combination, and details on if the contrast passes the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The slide also has bullet points on how to use the checker, and the URL on where to find it: https://lnkd.in/gCzYsrNn.] #ContentForEveryone #ContentAccessibility #WebAccessibility #AccessibilityMatters #a11y #DigitalAccessibility

Sharing to widen the net & because I know some of my connections have amazing insight into EDI: What is best practice regarding what should show when hovering over an image with a mouse? Is it good for the image's alt text to appear, or best for no text to show? In terms of accessibility, does it complicate matters for screen readers?

Breaking news! Literally 😀 Although I do have a background in the media industry, my career turned to building websites and technology. But now my worlds collide! It was honor to be the one to design and build the new Jewish Breaking News website. If you aren't currently one of their thousands of readers, now might be a great time to jump in! It was a really interesting experience to take my knowledge from being a news editor and apply it to building a sleek, modern, yet logical and intelligent design. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Alternative text, or alt text, is a written description of an image or graphic that screen readers read aloud for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. It is important to use alt text because it helps make online content more accessible. It provides context for images, charts, infographics, and other visuals. Tips for writing good alt text: - Be concise but descriptive. - Focus on the key details, like what’s important in the image. - Avoid starting with "Image of..." or "Picture of...". - Be clear and specific—think about what the image conveys and its relevance to your content. - If an image is only decorative or unrelated to your written content, consider not including the image!

As someone who works in social media full-time, sometimes I need a place on the world wide web to calm me down 🧖♀️ (Alt title: Where to go if you’re feeling discouraged by the dumpster fire that is the internet 😔🔥) 🦆 public.work - This is essentially a search engine for public domain images. I get lost here. (can I call this bloom scrolling? the opposite of doom scrolling? is that a thing already? if not, ™️ me) 🌌 cosmos.so - They market themselves as the creative’s alternative to pinterest, and that’s exactly what this is. If you obsessively curate like me, you definitely need this in your life. 🌳 placestoread.xyz - Do I have plans to travel to Portugal in the near future? No. But do I have a cutesy place to read when I do? Yes, and it’s because of this site. 🎶 goodsong.club - Name a better feeling than when you find a niche new song to obsess over. I’ll wait. 🎧 digthis.club - This is a sister site to good song. If you ever are stuck in a music (or genre) rut, this site might delight & surprise you! 💬 uncut.wtf If your idea of internet indulgence is scrolling through hundreds of delicious fonts – this is for you. Anyways! I hope one of these sites makes your week at least 3% better. 🤎 As always, if you have a rec to add, let me know! 🤲 #SocialMediaManager #ContentCreator #Resources #JustForFun
