Well, happy #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay!

While my original proposal to hide images in order to highlight the importance of well-written alt text did not gain a whole lot of traction, I'm still glad there was some conversation, and grateful to everyone who is still interested in joining in.

If you do participate, I would love to hear from you!

Highlighting the importance of well-written image descriptions

^{Stefan Bohacek (stefanbohacek.com)}

A few extra seconds of your time it takes to add a good image description can really improve someone's day.

"To a totally blind person like me it means a lot to have a picture in my mind of your images, especially the animal pics."

"I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content."
