Web Images...

Don't Forget!

One thing most sites forget when using images in web pages are the use of alt text tags.
Alt text makes images viewable for people who surf with 'images turned off' in their browsers. This way even if the image doesn't appear, there is a bit of descriptive alt text. If the image is a link, it can still be clicked if the image doesn't load.

Instead of seeing an empty box--they get a description of what's in the image. So be sure if you use images, to optimize for the web by resizing them, use the correct format, and use alt text to describe what's in the image.
