Reacting to Posts

Hi, my name is Vikki Vaughan, and today we'll dive into various ways we react to a friend's post on Facebook. We'll explore some of the tools that help make our reactions more fun.

This series is designed for people with low vision. If you use a screen reader, be sure to check out Hadley's screen reading version of this series.

Facebook gives us many different ways to react to a post. Let's say our friend Jessica posted a photo of a guide dog courtesy of Southeastern Guide Dogs. When we see a post on Facebook, we can comment on it or choose from a variety of icons to show our feelings. Let's explore these icons. Below Jessica's post, we find several buttons to choose from. At the far left, we find the like button. It displays a thumbs up graphic. When we use our mouse pointer to hover over this button, seven different reaction icons pop up.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you, and don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on, plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And, last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
