Mabel… Melissa… Myrtle? Ah yes MONA!

When you add an image to your web site you may have noticed that there are a good number of different boxes you can fill in which all seem to be naming the picture. In this posting I aim to explain why there are so many and what they are all used for.

So, let’s start with something very basic… the file name. If you take a picture with a digital camera or phone, chances are your file will be called something like “DSCN6434.JPG”.
