As my followers have probably noticed, I’ve recently been adding image descriptions to posts and reblogging things with image descriptions, and I thought it might be useful to write a guide based on my experience doing them for others who might want to start doing them as well.
Image descriptions are really important for accessibility; people who use screen readers need them because screen readers aren’t great at reading images. And since about 80% of tumblr is images, this means that image descriptions are really important accessibility tool.
(Image descriptions are also really useful for people using tumblr mobile and people with bad internet, but accessibility is really the main reason to have them.)
I’m not an expert or anything, I’m just a guy who started doing this about a month ago, so I recommend you check out this post, this post, and this post, as well as this page by @keplercryptids and this page from @taakitzweek for more advice. I’ve also linked to some ID blogs at the end so you can look at how other people structure their IDs. But anyway, here are my tips for doing image descriptions.
