An alternative might be - say you are concerned with a privacy issue with a picture of a child - in that case you might want to name the image with a number 1234.jpg rather than use marie.jpg. Also if you have an image you have spent a lot of money on e.g. an illustrated heart, you might not want to name it heart.jpg because it will come up on the Google images for a "heart" search and it is too easy for people to save and reuse these images. Lots of people still think it's perfectly legal to do this.

Although I can override the alt text placed by the plugin, it usually includes the name of my post on the image. Is that a good thing or should I just name the image for what it is?

With this points is logical to think that images also play an important role in having quality content in some blogs. Now I understand why everybody talks about having good sources of images.

I'm going to give that a try. The blocking of the non-content images is a really cool idea that I had never heard of before. I’m going to give that a try.
