Hey all-

Some of you may have noticed that your images are not posting correctly to the course site.

You may be seeing an error message about “Alt Text.”

What the heck is this?

Alt Text is the the text that a screen reader will speak when it encounters an image on a website. Screen reader software is often used for folks with low vision and/or blindness, migraines, or other disabilities that make it difficult to read from a computer. It is very important that you get into the habit of including alt text in your uploads. Alt text may also be called “image description” with some software.

Sample alt text:

“Meme of several long-haired people holding their cell phones and smiling below large text that reads “sorry I’m super busy dissociating into my phone” by @femme4memes”
