Don’t forget to use ALT TEXT on your images – not only is it ESSENTIAL for users with disabilities but it’s also great for helping your SEO ranking (google will give you plus points for demonstrating a relationship between the words in your ALT text and the words on your page).

I also never realized that the format in which the images are saved matters.
I have a question that probably sounds stupid, but should the size of the images be changed in camera or once they are downloaded?

Also a great tip, thanks for sharing that Angie!
Thanks for this post. Revamping my blog is one of this year’s ‘musts’ and better caring for my images is something I can do myself.
