@cosmere_play mentioned alt text in the news post about updated logos, and I wasn't sure if I should hijack that comment section or start a thread, so I did both! I'm not blind, and I don't use screen readers, but it would be great to hear from anyone who does! Or, y'know, if there are any consultants to suggest hiring :3 (@sugjesstive works with an IT company where they add alt text, and they agree that fans working together would be easier and better than getting automatic software!) My suggestions: captions for images on forum posts, or add a reminder when the title field of an image is empty check the navigation links to make sure screen readers know their function (notifications, messages, and more apparently only say "link" on mobile or PC) encourage Coppermind images to work with Wikipedia's style guide for alt text I could've just missed all of these because I don't know what I'm doing, but the floor is open! EDIT: @LewsTherinTelescope pointed out that you can fill the title field by double-clicking images, which makes the first bullet easier! I used title text here, as the logo correctly reads now: "link: 17th Shard, the official Brandon Sanderson fansite. alt 1". On an article about the new logo designs, you could describe it instead; "old logo: a shard of blue glass under a black number 17 stylized with cracks as if shattered. Text of different colors reads: 17TH SHARD THE OFFICIAL BRANDON SANDERSON FANSITE" "new logo: a blue triangle with a bright yellow piece breaking off at the top. Dark blue text says: 17TH SHARD and below it, THE OFFICIAL BRANDON SANDERSON FANSITE with the name Brandon Sanderson in yellow"
