Posted by craft-fair on September 11, 2017

Image filename

  • 5 to 7 descriptive words
  • Lowercase
  • Hyphens instead of spaces
  • No special characters
  • E.g. nau-ambassador-talking-to-students.jpg

Media library caption

Media library title

  • Title of each image to match file name
  • Use spaces instead of hyphens
  • Use appropriate capitalization
  • E.g. NAU ambassador talking to students

Media library alt text

  • Complete sentence structure
  • E.g. Male freshman student happily interacts with NAU Student Ambassador.
