I was thinking of adding more photos to my blog posts so I looked up information on how to make photo carousels, but most posts recommended I _don't_ use them because of accessibility. I am not a good web designer, and none of these posts offered alternatives, so I don't know what to do 😰

As for carousels, meh. Pick one or two good images and show them inline with your text.

@tenderlove yeah, carousels are generally pretty bad.

I would probably go with a list of thumbnail images that can be formatted into a grid and link to the full-size version.

Kind of like I did here: selfawaresoup.com/journal/2023

@tenderlove I have a image heavy post I want to make (photos of my 3D printer wine-fridge mod). I was thinking of putting them all in an imgur album. But IDK.
