Hashtags. Where do they belong? In-line in the text or appended at the end? It’s a matter of preference clearly, since there seems to be a pretty even split in my timeline.
My preference is for end-note style hashtags. Why?
1. For many of us with vision or visual processing issues, interspersing hashtags throughout the post makes it harder to read and comprehend.
2. For people relying on screen readers, interspersed hashtags means hearing the word hashtag over and over again while listening to your post.
3. I like end-notes.

So, what’s your preference? Tell us why in the comments.

@bhawthorne Mixed. When I toot about "our dogs, , exploring of " it seems natural to put hashtags inline. When I toot "Dogs having fun in mud" I put hashtags as a footnote. I expect to appear at my door every dawn.
