When you upload a photo to your WordPress site to include in a page or post, you are given three boxes within the "Upload" section; "File," "Title," and "Description." You can add an alt tag to any photo by using a keyword rich phrase that describes the photo in the "Title" box. If you look at our <a> travel blog </a> and hover over the photos - MOST if not ALL will have alt tags that will show up when you put hour cursor on the picture. I looked at your site and on this page: http://skaneatelessuites.com/?page_id=37 if you hover over the pictures you'll see they have alt tags. Not the BEST for optimization sake, but they're there and should be editable depending upon your permission level. Good Luck - thanks for the question! ~Carrie Hi Curt,
