Accessibility question

[starwatcher]

I will soon be moving my fanfic to Archive of Our Own, and to a Dreamwidth fic-site. When moving the fics, I'd like to ensure that my code is accessible for screen-readers. I know some things, but have questions about others. I asked the questions in a post at my Studio, but have had no responses; apparently no one in my reading circle uses a screen-reader.

If you do, I'd appreciate it if you could drop by and educate me. Or perhaps point me toward a site that has the answers. Feel free to pass the link on to anyone who might know the answers. After I've learned what I need to know, I'll make a new post to share with my friends, and anyone else who needs or wants the information.

Thank you.

The width/height won't matter to screen readers as far as I know, but adding them is best-practice for visually-rendering browsers because it allows them to reserve space for the image on the screen before it downloads, which means the page doesn't jerk around and realign when the image finishes downloading. This is especially appreciated when the image file is large (file size, not visual display) or when there are lots of images on one page.

Cool! I'm learning so much. Thank you.

Fortunately, I see that half of the "copy/paste this code to put the picture on another site" from Flickr is the <img description. I just need to change my alt from "Meeting" to "two horses in field, touching noses".
