  Hi,

  I have been using WP.com for a couple of months and been posting photos on my posts.

  Well my friend just pointed out to me that I should be mindful of the info attached to the files:
  Proper, informative file names
  Use ALT words
  Fill in the descriptions

  My question is
  Should I go back and correctly fill in the missing informations, even though I cannot change the filename?

  What to do? Please help.
  Thanks
  Karen

  I would edit enter the ALT attributes if I were expecting to get traffic from search engines via my images. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/pre-fill-description-title-alt-text-and-caption-of-a-media?replies=9

  So I just go and edit images stored in the Media library?

  Thanks for the fast response time!
