A friendly suggestion to people who posts screenshots of tweets or images with a ton of text.

Adding alt text helps with accessibility

@MisterE Alt (alternative) text is used to describe the image. it's used by screenreaders.

You should use it for any image really, when posting.

On a webpage its good to fill in the alt text if the image is conveying information, relevant to the content on the page. If its just for decoration, filling in the alt text is not required.

@Hulio If I blow the picture up and leave the cursor on the picture, then I get your description.

Can you show the command? And, how do you place it?

@MisterE @vozoto I don't have a computer. On my cell phone a box pops up when I touch the photograph. Should I try to enlarge the text box?

@Hulio No, that's OK. I'm on a PC. Glad you got it to work.
