Add The Title Tag Attribute To Text And Image Links

There are many extra attributes or tags you can add to the text links and image links you use on your blog and in your blog posts.One of the attributes i use are title tags, by adding a title to your links and images you can let people know were the link is leading to or for images you can use it to describe an image.Once you add the title when someone places their cursor over the text link or image the title you added will appear.This is like a tool tip effect and although its not required it is a nice extra for your links and images.



Even when the link is descriptive you can add the title for extra info.Hove your cursor over this link and you will see the tool tip "Go To The Spice Up Your Blog Homepage" :

Spice Up Your Blog

This Image is also using the same title tag :
(The title attributes can be added to images along with the alt tag)



You will also notice most links on Spice Up Your Blog such as the links in the menu bar and sidebar have the title attribute added.In fact were ever possible i use the title attribute, for gadgets link recent posts it is out of my control.I used the titles on these links not only to give more information but also it's something not seen on all blogs so it's a neat extra.

Adding Title Tags To Your Links

This is the text link above without a title :
