This is the first time anyone's explained the difference between alt text and image descriptions to me! Which is wild because I've made it a practice to write image IDs for every image I post for about a year and been calling these alt text (which I now understand they are different!). I've also had trouble adding alt text on notes too ... I don't think it's an option which really sucks and doesn't make sense😔 Especially given the amount of visual artists on this platform!!
Well, I really never knew what alt text was and I never understood image descriptions, so really the whole thing was great learning for me. I also appreciated learning about the history of curb cuts!
Thank you! I've made some short how-to videos screen recording adding them to each platform. They're going up on TikTok, Instagram and maybe LinkedIn in. I can share the link or post them here too ❤️

I'm so happy this helped. Image descriptions are perfect for when alt text isnt an option, like on Notes 🫠
This was so eye-opening to me - thank you!
Yay, any part in particular?

I remember learning these things a few years ago, its so interesting
Thanks for posting this article. I really struggle with alt-text, and this article gives some very clear guidance.
