      I was just looking at the main LFN website at
http://www.lingua-franca-nova.net and I noticed something that I will
make a suggestion for.  Because of the way I process email and news
(and for other reasons), I often (not always) use a text web browser
(elinks, which runs under Unix).  Elinks can do a fairly good job of
rendering colors, frames, and tables, but it cannot handle images.  I
noticed in the LFN website that a number of links are associated with
images.  I am not an expert in HTML, but I think that along with the
<img=...> tag there is a parameter alt="..." tag that can be included
within the angle brackets (<>) that will display the text provided in
place of the image itself.  This is especially valuable for those who
use text browsers, including those with visual impairments who read web
pages with speech synthesizers.  I think that it would only take a few
minutes to include alt="..." tags within the <img="... >, and they
would enhance the value of the website.  When constructing a web page,
please remember that what you see is not always what everyone else
sees.  Thanks.
