It was really simple, for beginners - but that's what made it perfect. On top of all that, it didn't just say put at the top - it explained everything why you should do it and how it works. Great website. So yeah, the ALT attribute really is supposed to be important, and I'm glad you're blogging it to let other people know. Of course, the ALT attribute is pretty handy for people for whom images actually don't show up - but for other purposes, tags are definitely the reason. The only thing I don't get is how can your images have any ALT text at all if you didn't put it yourself - does your blog just take the title of the image and makes it the ALT text as well? Well - that's just another reason why some people build their websites from plain HTML instead of FrontPage or Dreamweaver... :D Oh yeah, I knew this handy little thing back when I was first starting to learn HTML via this website: http://www.html.net.
