This week’s topic is ‘Frozen’. I thought I’d add a couple of photos; one shows a snow angel my granddaughter made, and the other shows the road outside my house on a frozen January morning. Keep warm, folks!

Happy to see that you use alt tags on your pictures! Not only does it help us visually impaired folks know what the photo is, but it helps promote your work via search engines. We’re preparing for another snow storm later today and overnight.

Hi Donna – not sure what an ‘alt tag’ is, so didn’t even know I’d used one!

Stevie, hmmm, I wonder how it happened if you didn’t deliberately do it? Screen readers & search engines read text only. Normally, if nothing is done to change it, when a screen reader encounters a graphic, it says, “Graphic” followed by a mishmash of numbers & letters. An alt tag, or alternate text, is a string of text that the screen reader can read. In this post, I hear, “Graphic, Snow Angels.jpg” & “Graphic, Frozen.jpg.” Word Press has an edit section for media that allows you to add alt tags, and if you use their Insert Img dialog in their html/text editor, you get a two-part dialog with the URL of the image first and then the alt tag. If you aren’t using a screen reader, you just see the picture, so you can’t count on the alt tag to add descriptions for your sighted readers. You included the descriptions in your post so everybody got it.

Ah, they’re the names I gave the photos on my desktop in the first place. I don’t understand the rest of your explanation, as I’m not very computer literate.

I dream snow angels. I live in the hot south, Georgia!

I went to ‘Nawlins’ a couple of years ago and the heat was savage. It was only February, so couldn’t even imagine what it’s like in August!

I’m too much of a warm-blooded Californian to make snow angels…yours sure turned out great! I suppose I could make sand angels when I get to the coast! Lovely take on frozen today! Thanks for joining in again, Stevie!

Snow is lovely in a picture or a film but I prefer to leave it there as the cold and I have never been friends.
