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.

2 pairs of readers as I’m used to not having distance glasses anymore and I think they would be more of a hindrance now I’m used to my blurryish peripheral (Distance) vision.

Whilst they don’t fill in any tiny blank spots, make the lines straight or stop floaters masking my central vision, they do help the blur somewhat and I’ll wear them until I can’t anymore. There will come a time when glasses don’t help at all, but until then I may as well look stylish!

The last time I  wore distance glasses it  made it hard to walk around due to me able to see the frames abit and thinking the ground was higher up than it was causing me to walk very cautiously. So now when I’m offered, I don’t bother.

As usual. Winged Tortoishell. One for home and one for going outside the house,  my favourites (The yellow tipped wings 😍)

Before Diagnosis.  9 years ago today.

Memory came up today. Before diagnosis. 9 years ago today.

Literally weeks before diagnosis of Macular Dystrophy. I didn’t have a clue at this point.
