What is Alt Text? I'm 60+. How do you do it? Thanks.

There are no stupid questions!

When you post an image you get crop and alt buttons before posting. Click the ALT and describe the image! If it's a block of text, go here and extract the text! Thanks for your Q! I hope you will be an #AccesibleSky account! 🙏❤️

Great point I'll make sure I do better.

Thank you!!

You can also force yourself - there's an option in settings that won't allow you to post an image *without* ALT.

I set it up, now I'm a dedicated #AccessibleSky account!

Thanks for your care!!

And if you're posting that picture of Kendrick Lamar grinning like a Cheshire Cat, you had better copy and paste this Wikipedia page into the alt text.

Hey look - a handy way for me to catch up on something I know nothing about! 😆
