More good stuff. Not only is your blog fun and very well written, but it's so informative! I just went into my main site's Good Webmaster Tools and enabled "advanced image search" -- given that it's difficult (= impossible) to keep up with everything on the web relevant to SEO, your blog definitely helps clear some of the fog.

While you're adding the alt text in #2, you might also include the same text as a title attribute. Every bit helps and in some browsers the title attribute is required to get the tool tip to pop up. For #3, in situations where the Wordpress caption plug-in isn't available, manually adding a caption close to the photo often gets picked up by Google. And how about one more image SEO tip? #4 Turn on "Enable advanced image search" in Google Webmaster Tools. Doing so makes your images available for tagging through the Google Image Labeler at http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ which in turn helps with SEO. These are great tips.
