Need Dreamweaver Image SEO Help Plzzzz

    Hey,

    This is such a dumb question, but I honestly don't know the answer.

    Using Dreamweaver, when inserting images I add the alt tag, but there are no options that I can see to add a title tag. I am able to add a "name" tag however.

    Is a "name" tag for images the equivalent of a "title" tag as far as image searches go? Do I need to manually adjust the html to add a "title"?

    Also, in these tags is it OK to use hyphens? Let's say the title/ name is blue fish. Will it be a problem if I label it as blue-fish?

    Thanks guys, and gals!

    :O)

    For SEO the alt tag is enough. The title is only for users and if is not used with caution can lead to keyword stuffing.

    Thanks! I was hoping so. :O)

    To others/ all, is the "name" the same as the "title"?
