    You can only add them to links you create.

    <img src="yoursite/photos/XXXXXXXXX_xxxxxxx-Th.jpg" alt="" title="" />

    Hi Allen!

    Thank you for your reply. Let me ask you this.....My understanding is that having Alt Tags helps a site get found by search engines. That is the reason for my post. So, that is what I'm driving at. After I posted this item, I did some further reading in the Forum. Do I understand correctly that if I submit Captions to my images, that action will automatically create Alt Tags?? I understand what I would put for a Title, for example: "Sunset Over Barr Lake 2 - Barr Lake State Park - Brighton Colorado". I believe the CAPTION, however, would be something like "Sunset over Barr Lake, Colorado, lots of bare trees in the water, on the lake's edge, with the sun shining through the trees." Am I on the right track?

    Thanks again
