This image was added using the “Insert/edit image button” on the visual editing toolbar (keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+M):

The “Image Description” was set to “Yellow flowers”. WordPress set the “alt” attribute to “Yellow flowers”, but not the “title” attribute. This means that there is no “tooltip” that appears when you hover the mouse over the photo.

The image below was added with the “Add an Image” button in the “Add Media” toolbar.

The Description was again set, this time to “White Wedding Flowers”. Here again , the “alt” attribute was set while the “title” attribute was not.

Also, for both methods, WordPress doesn’t copy the images to the local uploads directory, rather it makes a direct link to the image file on a remote server. This is called hotlinking, and it’s a definite Internet no-no.

   Is it possible to make a spoiler button in blogger blog posts ? I don’t know javascript and know very basic html only. I’ve tried copying snippets of javascript into my posts to try but most of them doesn’t work. Some only works in the create post window but after publishing it doesn’t work anymore. Most buttons just does nothing after being clicked. Any solutions ?.
