Alt Text - Just The Tips
Looking to up your alt text game?
Our comrade in alt, the Alt Text Hall of Fame (npub1sym…c2sq), has some great tips on what to consider when writing your image descriptions: https://mastodon.social/@alttexthalloffame/112026971409044465
Everyone has their own style and method! For best accessibility it helps to make sure the core image description is made early, and then work in the vibe narrative and more artistic elements.
Quick example to follow in the next toot!
