 There is an accessibility error with the embed iFrame for Flickr and
 TikTok. Specifically, that the iFrame is missing a title, with no "title"
 attribute, or the "title" attribute being empty. Site Improve is
 requesting that the frame provide an attribute titie="", and to add a
 description of the content in the title.

 There is also an "Link without a text alternative" message for the <a
 data-rapid="flickr"... > link, stating that "links should always have a
 text alternative". In order for a link to be readable by screen reader
 users links must all contain either plain text, or in the case of a linked
 image, alt text describing where the link goes. If the linked image
 contains text, a good general rule is to make the alt text the same, or
 similar to the text in the image.

 The same issue goes with the inline (iframe) frame, that does not include
 a text altnerative.

 All three of these issues will lower page accessibility for those using
 screen readers.

 Thanks for your help.
