Rebecka,

I also began at 67%. Funny. What I did for the img tags was open the file in notepad, hit ctrl + f and type in img. At the end of each img tag there is a alt="". Just put something like your business name or a 1-2 word description in between the quotes. Then upload the page and run the diagnostic again. It will tell you if you missed any. Be careful not to delete the quotes or the tag won't work and the diagnostic will say it still needs alt tags.

The one I can't figure out what to do with is the H1 thing. All of my headings and stuff are setup in my style sheet so I can't just go adding headings in the middle of my page. Any suggestions?

A good "alt" for an image would be a description of what that image is. For your company logo, you may give it an alt such as your company's name or even "logo"... this tag is for visually impaired people (or people who choose to surf the web with graphics turned off for faster loading).

Not sure what problems are being experienced with the H1 header tags.

I love it I love it I love it.

I've received the Alt attributes & H1 tags advice too. I'll get working on this tonight.

Thanks for the help everyone

This is great - here are my results!

I got 1/2 on body text - it says there are 132 words. I wonder if that means there are too many or there aren't enough?

Very nice! I just used this on my oranization's website and we are definitely not up to snuff at 55%

I'm definitely going to let my boss know and maybe he'll let me try to fix that...experience, experience, experience.

I have a question...The one for my organization also said our site was missing an <h1> heading. Aren't those visible? what if you don't want a visible heading like that, can you have one and "hide" it?

<h1> is an html tag for the heading and is only visible in the coding itself. You may still see your heading show up on your web site, but it's telling you that you are missing the tag for the heading. If you can, go into your html coding and find your heading (most likely your title, without having seen your web site) and add <h1>Your heading text here</h1> What is your www.? I can look at your code and tell you right where you are missing the tag. DAwn

Holy Guacamole! I would love to be at 96%! I'd even take 90%. I got to 88% and couldn't see anymore changes that I could make on my own.
