Blogging Mamas: Can a screen-reader "see" your pictures?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
This is a shameless plug for writing screen-reader accessible blog posts! A lot of bloggers don't bother to write alternative text tags on their photos and as a result blog posts don't make a lot of sense to people using screen readers to enjoy your blog.

If you'd like to make your blog one step more accessible to everyone, I wrote a tutorial on my blog for using alternate text.

A big thank you to bloggers who take the extra few minutes to tag your photos.

This is a great tutorial. Aside from the ability for screen readers to "see" images, alt tags are great for SEO as well. I try to always remember to include alt text.
