Hi Melissa,

I think that is what I did, and it created the problem. It had to be alted,
and when I did that took over from the important image's alt. I don't have
a screen reader on my Mac, but could tell it would cause problems. I redid
the template from scratch and all went smoothly after that time.

Cheers

Lisa
