  1. I learned from a visually impaired person that ALT tags are very important to be able to identify images, as a webmaster, it's very important to accurately describe in detail what the image is, this helps people with sensory issues like vision problems. Too bad Google doesn't use the word "Webmaster" anymore, that's the actual term used by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the world-wide-web, a man that Larry and Sergey both looked up to for inspiration and their idea of the search engine "Google".

  2. Google Images shows the page title of the page as an image caption on Images. Is there any way to change the caption for Google Images on images (with advanced SEO images optimizations), instead of changing the page title?

    In my case, my clients have more images on one landingpage, and all those images have the same caption in Google Images (one page title), but I’d like to change the caption for each image seperately. Is that possible?

  3. Insightful as always, and for the closing part about "moving images" I'd like to remind you what Gondor's hero, Boromir, said ages ago: "Listen Legoland. I don't live in the kingdom of Jondor"
