Hi Greg,

If the content of your image (ie the product info regarding item, size,
colour, etc) is already addressed elsewhere on the page in live text (as is
best practice for accessibility), then repeating that just to identify the
image would be considered redundant, as the image is acting decorative to
match that product info.

I find this tree handy sometimes:

Goodluck!

Hi everyone, thought I would pass along the news that I'll be presenting a webinar for the American Association for Anatomy on 3D printed "talking" tactile templates on Wednesday, October 9 from 1 - 2 PM ET. More information is available at the following web address and the webinar is complimentary to all members and non-members so if you know any anatomists or instructional technology folks who help make microscope slides or anatomy sections accessible, please pass the info along.

Thanks,

Mike
