Basically, use alt on images, and you're fine. Use meaningful linktext on anchor tags (eg: <a href="url">screenreaders will read this part</a>), and you're fine. :D
How do screenreaders handle what happens to links in anon comments? I usually do bare links in anon comments because the anchor links get twisted up anyway, but is it better for screenreaders if I still use them?
That is, do screenreaders like "the Dresden Files Wikia (http://dresdenfiles.wikia.com)" better than "here's the Dresden Files Wikia: http://dresdenfiles.wikia.com "? Because if so I'll go back to using anchor tags.
(And note to the hapless anon commenter who spawned this discussion: none of the stuff posted above will work if you're posting anon, because DW/LJ will make a link look like the bold bit in this comment, and inline images will get swapped out with a placeholder. It's a spamfighting thing.)
