that's assuming that all my images are in <img />.
not so! all my images are in the CSS as backgrounds. so far you cannot use the alt attribute on divs.
heavy image usage also hurts
SEO even with alt attribute utilization. more images = less text = less relevance = bad. i use CSS for all my borders and colors and all... images are used in the backgrounds for interest sake but otherwise i shun them from that site... i'm going for clean and free. not cluttered and boxed.
it's mostly a personal choice for this site. when it comes to clients and money... totally different game!
there are methods to my madness! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
