Not sure why Mr. Korpela went in so hard on you, I mean it is not
as if anyone can really stop others giving advice in good faith.
While your alt text is not ideal, it is not so bad for someone
who actually sees only the text. "go button 1a" next to "1a. I
want to know how much it's worth" would be _very much more_ than
useless. In other words it could be quite helpful.
But, quite frankly, if you had a dying wish and said to me,
"dorayme, please change nothing on my site but do put in the alt
texts which I had no time to make, I would make it, to keep with
the example, alt="Find out". And ditto with every single one, all
by Find and replace in one fell swoop. of course, it would be
wrong because almost any beings's alt text is criticised by
someone else on this planet. It is either wrong in principle or
wrong in substance or wrong by simply not needing to exist
because the conditions of its existence are unnecessary.
JK's point about simply making the text links is one that stands
out as the obvious thing to do on simple aesthetic grounds: less
is more. It is likely that this "over egging the pudding" design
decision lays behind his irritability.
I recall you often making informative contributions.
How am I going? I am doing the Dale Carnegie course in Conflict
Management and am just practising here. It is part of my
assignment for first term.
