Alt Text & Link

To add alternative or alt text to a slide, so that it can be read by assistive technology, you would enter a short sentence describing the slide in the Slideshow Administrative here as shown in this screenshot:

Screenshot shows where to add the relevant Alt Text for a slideshow image.

  • Click on the pencil / edit icon.
  • Enter a short sentence that describes the slide and what will happen if you have enabled the link. Sample alt text for Novelist would be: “Novelist – find your next read, click to the page about the Novelist service.”
  • You may need to click on Save between actions, that is, updating each of the slide fields of information.
  • Remember to add “slide” to the Media tag area when you upload your custom slide.
