Do you agree that everyone deserves equal access to the Internet? People who rely on screen reading software often experience the web differently, and this is an area where each of us can make a significant difference. ❓ What is alt text? Alt attributes act as a backup when primary content can’t be displayed. For example, if an image fails to load, the alt text provides a textual description instead. It’s crucial to offer the same information, regardless of how someone accesses your site. ➡ Here’s a line of code for an image: <img src="scene.gif" width="145" height="126" alt="A photo of a beautiful sunset"> BUT next time writing an alt text consider this: Instead of generic descriptions like the one above, screen readers need you to explain why the image matters. ➕ Also, ask yourself: Is the image functional, or merely decorative? 📢 Adding alt text to images on LinkedIn only takes a few seconds but significantly enhances the accessibility and performance of your content, ensuring equality for everyone. 🔶 Learn how to write effective alt text in 3 minutes by watching this video: https://t.ly/GS4os #Accessibility #alttext
