New features 19/07/2012 15:20:42 Some more features just got added to the editor! Following the rise in popularity of mobile devices and Apple products that don’t allow Flash, like the iPhone and the iPad, we adapted the photo album module to be displayed properly on those devices, You can now use this module, without any restrictions, to showcase your website on your iPad at your latest exposition or presentation! Another feature : You can now activate the use of the alternate attribute for your images ! This attribute is there to describe your image in words. If you go in Site, then Site properies, you will find a checkbox to display the alt text fields when you upload an image. Once the box is checked, the alternate text field will be displayed. The alternative attribute, also called alt tag sometimes, is used by browsers and search engines. Browsers use it as an alternate in case the image is not correctly displayed. In that case, with the alt text, the reader still know what the image was. It is also use for browsing software for blind people, as the text is narrated to them. As for search engines, they use the alt attribute as keywords. When Google’s crawlers scan a website, they index the words you put as the alternate ext as keywords for your website as well. Don’t try to fool Google by adding too many unrelated words though. First, Google is too smart to be duped that easily and secondly, just imagine a blind person browsing your website : you’d make life pretty hard for them. We hope those news features will make your life even easier! Posted by Maud •   Add a comment •   0 Comments
