You said "I don't have a screen reader on my Mac" ... if you have a relatively recent version of the OS, then VoiceOver is built in. I think the command to bring it up is Command-F5. It is built in.

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
