Do you write your LinkedIn posts with accessibility in mind? That includes: ✅ Using special characters (&, #, etc.) only in moderation. ✅ Avoiding ALL CAPS. Not only does it sound like screaming, but capital letters are all the same height and are harder to differentiate. (Note: A word or two in ALL CAPS is okay. But not a whole string of text.) This article talks about a whole lot more than accessibility – feel free to check it out! #contentmarketing #writingtips #brandidentity
Great points, Brooke (Grubb) Miles! Accessibility in LinkedIn posts is crucial for ensuring everyone can engage with our content. In addition to your tips: ✅ Consider using camel case for hashtags (e.g., #AccessibilityMatters) to improve readability. ✅ Provide alt text for images to describe their content for screen readers. It's all about creating an inclusive digital environment where everyone feels welcome. Thanks for highlighting these important considerations! I look forward to reading the article for more insights."

1mo1) I never use the hash symbol, because LinkedIn automatically assumes that what follows it is a hashtag. So where I might usually use it, I have to use "No." As in "On Slide No. 3, ..." 2) About the only time I use an ampersand is when I'm right up to the character limit for a post or comment, and after honest reviewing and editing cannot change anything more, so I use it to replace the word "and" between two items. 3) I only occasionally put a word in all caps for emphasis. It's easier than getting the unicode equivalent of a bold font. And since unicode is basically an image and not text, that doesn't make it accessible either.
