In my post 13 blogging mistakes some bloggers commented that they did not know what alt description tags are.
The alt attribute provides a short description of the image. It is the word that appears in the box when you hover your mouse pointer over a picture.
Ex: When you hover your pointer over Garfield.
<IMG src=”images.jpg” mce_src=”images.jpg” ALT=”Garfield”>
Alt description tags provide a description for screen readers and text browsers to read.

Thank you, Rose, I had seen that in some of the HTML I stumbled on, but had no idea what on earth it was!
