This may seem like a really stupid question...

Now, normally, I'm all over the alt tag for images. But do I really need to put alt tags on icons, when I'm making a page full of icons? I mean, seriously, the whole POINT is that the person looking is going to be looking at the pretty icons and NOT that they'll be browsing with images off...

This is a question that puzzles me.

I don't. But photobucket has added them to the URLs now. *shrug* I don't really care with mine, though.

Nah, not really. But they can be a source of amusement. alt="It's an icon" alt="Monkey sex! Not really" alt="I'm a little teapot"

lol! Yeah, I love to do that too. I never put anything useful in the tag. I always put a caption or some random stupid thing in it. heehee.

The browser everyone wets themselves over using will then promptly ignore them!

I love this planet, I really do.
