  1. Can you provide meaningful meta information on the Friday and Monday reads header image? As it stands there is no way for people with reduced accessibility, maybe using screen readers, to get any idea on to what the image relates beyond todays date and the day of the week.

  2. Hi Damian,

    I have been filling out the ‘Alt Text’ meta information in the Friday and Monday Reads posts’ header image, but obviously something has gone amiss and it is not displaying. I apologise and I shall look into this.

    I also fill in ‘Alt Text’ meta information on the LR social media posts (Twitter: @lonrec, LinkedIn: London Reconnections, Meta/Facebook: London Reconnections) for the Friday and Monday Reads announcements, so you can read those in the meantime.

    As a work-around you can always (in Chrome) right click on any image and use “Search image With Google” and it shows the descriptions in the side panel.

  4. @Brian, you, Sir, are a genius, thats fantastically useful. Thanks again.

    @LBM Thank you, I appreciate this 🙂
