Last night I heard a blackbird sing...spring is coming, and with spring comes an abundance of moths. Mothing is a favourite pastime of mine. This year I have upgraded my gear, and found some new alluring spots to spend nighttime looking for new wonderful critters. It will occasionally be very cold, I will get stung by mosquitoes, bitten by ticks and my back will be killing me for lugging all that gear off the trail. But seeing a badger come closer out of curiosity, having bats swooping low over my head, hearing owls calling, foxes barking, and on top of that, coming home with a memory-card bursting with pictures of beautiful moths.. that just makes me check the forecast twice a day. How soon can I go again.

This is where the alt text needs to go, inside the img part, before the closing image tag. I made the same mistake as you did and someone taught me how to do it.

Still not getting it, sorry ヾ(◕д◕)ツ
it just ends up like this. The link does work and shows the picture if I click it, but there is still no alt text.

@natteheks @jalanchee the alt text goes between the IMG tags. So [img url stuff goes here] alt text[ / img].

I needed to mess with the IMG tags to get it to show up. Hopefully it's still informative.

It worked!!!! Thank you so much. Add the thingamabob after the jpeg) whatchamacallit. That was like pulling teeth. Now I know how my Mom feels when I try to teach her how to post a picture on Facebook. Thank you all 😀
