      Edit alt-text for images

      1. Hover your mouse cursor over the image
      2. Locate the gray bar near the bottom of the image labeled Alt-text:

      See how:

      Note: Alt-text, or alternative text, does not visually appear on the page - it is what a screen reader or other assistive device will read to a non-sighted visitor, and it's very important that all of your images have alt-text to ensure your site is accessible.

      1. Locate the italicized gray text underneath the image 
      2. Click on it and type a caption
