A little SEO thing

Not sure where I read this but apparently if you have image links to your site it's better to have the 'alt' attribute set to something, as that's what is used as the keyword for the link.
Just for my 2 (or more) cents (:

Non-techies, please ignore this.

probaly, tells the search engine what they are going to?

Alt="Image Name"

Just name the image whatever you want it to be called.

If your image is missing for whatever reason the browser will display your text as an alternative.

Give it a title as well. alt="whatever" title="whatever"

Firefox uses the title tag

Cheers, I always add the alt tag for seo and it shows up if the image doesn't show. Didn't know about the title, could be useful, so thanks!
