Are you using alt tags?

Saturday December 10, 2005
It's funny to me how many pages still aren't using the alt attribute on images. It's such a little thing that makes a huge difference in accessibility. And if that weren't all, you can also use it to improve your search engine optimization (to a certain extent) and also just provide more information to your readers no matter how accessible they need pages to be. If you aren't using alt text, you should be! Add Alt Text to del.icio.us
