Adding the 'ALT' and 'TITLE' tag to blog posts

By default blogger does not ask for a title of an uploaded image or alt text. You can still put them in to increase the visibility of your images. When google indexes your website or blog and come across an image, the only way to know what the image is by the title or alt tag.
  1. Create a new blog post
  2. Insert an image by clicking on the image icon
  3. After the image up loads, if you haven't already, click on the HTML button to view the code in your post:
  4. The next step is to locate the image in the code so you can add the 'ALT' and 'TITLE' tags:
    (example)
    <img src="myPhoto.jpg" border="0" width="50" height="100" />
  5. Now before the closing IMG tag /> you need to add:
    alt="this is my alt text" title="this is my title text"
  6. so it should look like this:
    <img src="myPhoto.jpg" border="0" width="50" height="100" alt="this is my alt text" title="this is my title text" />
