Is it possible to hide the yellow hoover image titles?
-
If so, I would really like to know how.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are referring to the blog linked to your username then I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and I do not experience any “yellow” hover color over the image on this page > http://piaisaksendesign.wordpress.com/about/

Ah, there are no images on that page. If you go to the page called “Work” and hold the mouse pointer over the images they’re there, at least in Firefox & I.E. on my screen.
-
Sorry, I forgot there is one picture there..
Strange that it doesn’t show on your screen. Here they pop up if the mouse pointer stops at an image, after about one second. -
Edit all those images and remove the “title” from each. They are there partly for accessibility for visually challenged people that use screen readers. The screen readers will “read” the title. If it is not there then the visually challenged person’s screen reader will have nothing to “read.”
Search engines like to see “alt” and “title” tags as well.

When I visited your work page I got a Grey title box as seen in this > screen shot
I recommend clearing your browser cookies and cache > support doc

I see. So maybe they are best left there? Few of the titles make any sense to other people than me, but if I add alt text for the image this is what will show in the small yellow hoover title boxes? (What are they called?) Thanks!
I am clearing cookies quite often, but will look into the cache too. Thanks for the tip!

The title text is what will show up in the little yellow box when you hover. You can edit that if you wish to anything you like. By default, it takes the file name (sans the extension).
Alt text is what would show up if for some reason the image did not load in a person’s browser, or if they had their browser set to not load images.
Alt text should always be included with an image since the search engines will not index any images that do not have alt tags, and I get a good number of hits each month off of google image searches. Also, if you do not have alt tags, it creates an XHTML validation error and it is always good to keep those to a minimum. Search engines don’t like to see validation errors.
