    Does anyone know how to add a tooltip to the image now since they made changes? I need to edit/add wording to my images for people to see when they hover over my images. I can’t figure it out. I can’t seem to find any instructions or directions on this to edit an image here. The instructions on WP still give the old directions for how to do this before they did the update. Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is lovingfoodfashionlife.com.

    Current browsers will display a tooltip for anything in the “title” attribute in HTML.

    Here is the HTML for an image I inserted into my test blog just now:

    <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7112" src="http://design5279.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/img_6030.jpg" alt="IMG_6030" width="523" height="392" />

    To see the HTML, open a post for editing and click on the Text tab at the top right of the editor area.

    If I add this somewhere inside the angle brackets and save:

    title="Looks delicious!"

    Then I can see the tooltip when I hover over that image. Here’s what the final HTML for my test image looks like:

    <img title="Looks delicious!" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7112" src="http://design5279.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/img_6030.jpg" alt="IMG_6030" width="523" height="392" />
