My Sprout Social webinar last week must have really invigorated me because I spent the weekend refreshing the Accessible Social website<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0It involved a new font, an updated homepage, a new navigational feature, and added resources. There\u2019s still more I\u2019d like to do, but for now\u00a0I'm pretty happy with the refresh. I\u00a0hope everyone else is too.<\/p>

Be sure to check the site out if you want to learn more about accessible best practices for social media and content creation. Feedback is also totally welcome!<\/p>

Happy weekend, everyone! I\u2019m still riding a high from all of the insights from\u00a0@AlexaHeinrich<\/user-mention>\u00a0last week.\u00a0I wanted to share some exciting alt text news for Sprout customers that you may have missed in another post<\/a> on the Arb.<\/p>\t

This webinar was fantastic, thanks to you all! I am already an Alexa fan\/follower\u00a0but was able to pick up some new tips from the session. I really appreciate the input here on closed versus open captions and have passed that on to our videographer. Also, the new Adobe accessibility check tool posted in the Q&A here is so much improved over what\u2019s existed before and what I settled on using, it will make a huge difference. I\u2019ve really been pushing education around accessibility, also due to personal experience leading to a personal passion, and this session gave me some great stuff to report back on to really drive the\u00a0why.<\/p>

@AlexaHeinrich<\/user-mention>, thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with us. And thank you to @LauraPorcincula<\/user-mention>\u00a0and the Sprout team for hosting and posting!<\/p>","url":"\/content-creation-67\/inclusive-social-the-power-of-accessible-content-1119?postid=3365#post3365","creationDate":"2023-05-19T22:30:28+0000","relativeCreationDate":"1 month ago"},"numberOfViews":449,"contentType":"article","featuredImage":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/sproutsocial-en\/attachment\/07183d97-b26f-46d1-9a00-996879fa513c_thumb.gif","publicLabel":"","category":{"url":"\/advice-best-practices-66","categoryId":66,"title":"Advice & Best Practices","metaRobots":"index, follow","type":0},"lastPostId":"3446"},"isActivityPage":true,"showUnsubscribeBtn":null,"attachmentCdn":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/sproutsocial-en\/attachment\/","isGuest":true,"csrfToken":"f8f15a3bd5f6f683cf29ab9b94825fe02fbb6ea9","hideCategoryMetadata":false,"phrases":{"Forum":{"thread.unsubscribe":"Unsubscribe","vraag":"Question","beantwoord":"Solved","topic.list.metadata.asked.in":"asked in","topic.list.metadata.published.in":"published in","topic.list.metadata.shared.in":"shared in","topic.list.metadata.posted.in":"posted in"}}}">
