Description

When uploading an image to a post in wordpress, the title field is a requirement. However having both an alt tag and a title tag could potentialy lead to over optimization penalties from the search engines. Instead i would suggest that if anything is to be required, then it should be the ALT field, with the title as a non-required field.
