You may want to add an "alt" command into the image tag. The alt tells the computer what caption would go with that picture. If you move your mouse over that image, the "alt" text will show up. Here's how to do it.
<img src="floppy.gif" alt="Pretty blue floppy disc">
Code
<img src="floppy.gif" align="right" alt="My floppy disc can beat up your floppy disc."> And then this is the boring text, the regular stuff that you want people to focus on. <b>Please mouse-over the picture. </b>
What you see
My floppy disc can beat up your floppy disc. And then this is the boring text, the regular stuff that you want people to focus on. Please mouse-over the picture.
As a rule, keep your alt tags short and to the point. It's fun occasionally to have a sneaky, silly tag, but a more typical alt tag for this picture would simply be alt="floppy disc" or something similar.
