I changed the arrow gif alt text and restrained myself when it
got to about 3 chapters long... I assume that a screen reader
will read more than what a visual browser will often display
(they often cut spiels depending on the size of the pics). These
alt texts are from the days when I was bad and slack and not
given to helping folk. Selfish days when I would generate them
with S&R and GREP, pinching things from the name of the img file,
considering how I usually try to name the pics to mean something
to me. But I now know that the web is not about me, it is about
everyone else. I think that is very selfish of the world at large
but what can I do? With a bit more care in greping, one could
remove the .jpg and use the handle of the capital letters to put
in spaces and start to make it a bit better. It is an amazing
task facing me to go and fix up all the alt text on my sites to
be first rate rather than generally 2nd rate. I should pay
someone to do it considering it is such a boring little thing to
do. Bergamot ought to offer me some discount for doing it!
