The box your looking for should look something like this.

Image Properties.

Blogging is all about pictures. When was the last time you posted without a picture? How many posts have you put off until you had the right picture for your post? Right! Pictures are a big draw to blogs after all we like to look at stuff. Menus with no pictures are just no fun!

Every picture you add to a post should be attributed to your blog and its post.Why? Because search engines also search image files for keywords. This means that you will have to label your pictures.

After you insert your picture into your post, Click on it.

A Menu will pop up with options for the picture.

Select Properties.

Fill in the the boxes with the necessary text.

"Alt" attributes are meant to be a description of the image for users who are unable to view the image.

"title" attribute can be used for providing longer descriptions about the image.

Header tags

Good headings express the general idea of the content below them, and search engines use headings to get an idea of what your post is about so use them!

And they look good and people like them, so its a win, win for everyone :)
