Images alternate text

is there a way to add alternate text tag lines to my images like you can in html. I cant seem to find anything on this and would like to optimize my site for certain keywords.

Re: Images alternate text

Alt tags are NOT keyword opportunities.... they are for the visually impaired.

Re: Images alternate text

Its not about posting lists of keywords into the alt tag and i don't think the visually impaired are going to be a major part of selling handmade crafts to art gallery owners. However I can take it from your reply that zen cart has no functionality for manually editing image alt tags.

Hi, i know this reply might come a bit late. I just figured out this is how you can add the alt text. Below is an example:

<div align="center"><img src="http://www.yourpreciousgifts.com/images/The_Story_of_Tatty_Teddy/The_Story_of_Tatty_Teddy06.gif"/alt="alt text here"></div>

Hope this could help anyone whom had just started doing their website like me. :)
