Alt is an attribute. Attributes go inside tags so

<img src="" alt="" />

(also you need to move up you > and use some quotes around your link.)

#3

Should i place it at the end or the start

#4

Order of attributes generally doesn’t matter, although traditionally src goes before alt

#5

What should i put in the Alt

#6

A short description of what the image shows. There is no “right” answer here. The alt attribute is used by screen-readers to help those, who can not see, understand what the image is conveying.

#7

Actually there is a right answer as far as accessibility is concerned.

if you have text in the image, you should put that text in the Alt. If you don’t you have a choice. If you want someone who uses a screen reader to “see’ the image, you need to describe the image in the alt. If you don’t you can leave the blank by just using alt=”" . the screen reader will then skip over the image.

You should always include the Alt though. if you don’t a screen reader will read the code and/or url to the user making for a bad experience.
