13.11.20 - barrierefreie Listings

Hast Du Bilder in Deinen Listings? Hast Du schon mal darüber nachgedacht, wie und ob seheingeschränkte Menschen diese wahrnehmen können oder müssen, um den Cache zu absolvieren? Das HQ ermutigt dazu, Listings etwas barrierefreier zu gestalten. Hier gibt es eine Anleitung: Geocaching HQ is continuously working towards a more inclusive and accessible experience for all players. Today, we want to ask for your help to make cache pages more accessible. If you have images on your cache page, your geocaching profile, or on any trackable pages—please consider adding alternative text to describe your image. This will help visually impaired players who rely on screen readers. Here are two ways to add alternative text to images: Via the user friendly editor, or via the HTML source code. Add alternative text with the user friendly editor Right-click on the image. Select Image properties. Add your image description in the field ALTERNATIVE TEXT. Select OK. Select Save. Tip: If the image is only for decoration, leave the alternative text field empty. Add alternative text with HTML code Find the HTML tag. Add the “alt” attribute. Syntax: Tip: If the image is only for decoration, use alt="", so that screen readers skip the image.
