A Notice to readers submitting items to be included in the Anthem Compendium

Due to the inability of many recipients with some form of vision impairment to read the information presented in images, I will no longer accept images for publication in the Anthem Compendium. Please help me by sending only text in your submissions. I will format the information that you submit.

The images may look cool to most of us, but the subscribers that depend on audio and text browsers can't take in the message you're trying to convey.
