Alt-text WOO

[C is for]

I've noticed in the last two responses (COINCIDENTALLY both written by Dr. Smeed) the links have alt-text to read! I love it! It's like an extra present for people who hover over links to see what they link to. I hope lots of writers start doing it. Even if it's just a very bland reiteration of what they said it links to. I love alt-text.

If it was just a present for those two questions that's okay. It was still super fun to see them.

I likey.

Also, props to you for the Making Fiends avatar.

You know, I noticed that too...but in the 0.2 seconds I was thinking about it, I assumed it was just the title bar. This makes much more sense.

Thanks. It's my October costume, given the vaguely creepy feel Making Fiends tends to have. Since Charlotte starts with C, you know.

(I know I'm horrible at the C words these days, but I do at least try to make my icon start with C.)

Go back and check all my answers since I unretired. Every time I make a link, I put an alt-text to it. Just my little "going the extra mile" for you folkies!

I did that, but after awhile I got bored of looking at answers without links, so I figured you had only done those two. What others have you done?

Commander Keen wants everyone to know that he has been doing alt-text since 5.0 came out. Mine must be far superior to his, though...

I thought someone else had done it, but I couldn't remember who! Yes, CK has been doing this for a while. Phew, glad he came forward (albeit indirectly).
