Catching the bus, or a Lorry

Posted on by One Vision

This happened to me the other day. Getting ready to board the bus that I see with my blurred vision, but as it gets nearer I see that sometimes it’s really a car. Sometimes a lorry.

I can’t always trust my vision as it is now.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION Bus travels in the distance towards the bus stop with a dark haired woman waiting by the bus stop. The bus travels over the hills and comes nearer to the lady. As it does it turns into a lorry. She turns around shocked.

Camel Case Hashtags

Posted on by One Vision
VIDEO DESCRIPTION 2 examples of lower case hashtag not making much sense to an example of Camel Case being read put and understood with ease. At the end a big thumbs up appears

Why you should be using Camel Case Hashtags for greater clarity and accessibility for your website or social media pages.

This is when you capitalise the first letter of each word so hashtags can be read easily and especially for screen readers. Instead of gobbledegook, the person using the reader due to sightloss, dyslexia or other reasons, will be able to listen and due to Camel Case the words will be read out in a more understandable language.

Camel Case is so called due to the rising up and down of the capitalisation and lowercase of the letters. Like the camels humps.

I have made the video above to explain further. Notice the difference between the first set of hashtag to the last Camel Case example.
