However, I think you've misunderstood the point of providing alternative text. Alternative text for an image should describe the image itself - this technique would result in all images simply describing as the post that they're embedded in. While this could occasionally result in a reasonable alt attribute, it would be purely coincidental.</p><p>The media library already has a field for adding an image alt attribute, and it would be vastly preferable if the plug-in had an option to auto fill alt attributes with the image alt attribute field. I appreciate that updating your images in the media library doesn't update usages of that image in your site, and updating each individual post is a pain - however, adding the post title as an alt attribute does not help anybody. It just creates duplicative and irrelevant content on the page for users with disabilities to wade through.</p>Joe DolsonTue, 27 Jun 2017 10:49:03 -0000http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/wordpress/2008/11/10/cligs-and-a-wordpress-to-twitter-plugin/#comment-3780082<p>Well, perhaps I should take a look at <a href="http://Ping.fm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Ping.fm">Ping.fm</a>, and write a companion plugin for that! Thanks for your interest!</p>Joe DolsonFri, 14 Nov 2008 15:39:36 -0000
