[Express] Newcomer to Freeway first question

Hi, I have just downloaded the freeway, I am new here by the way Hallo everybody. Anyway I have finally thrown out rapidweaver and sandvox I am impressed with what I have seen and learned so far with Freeway. I watched many of the videos and went through the manual very briefly and am left with only one unanswered question: Namely, as a photographer it seems that importing the images through the graphics box is not ideal since it appears, on first sight, that the graphics box embeds the images much in the same way that fancy text would need to be embedded in order that browsers would be able to render it.

I need to have alt img tags applied to each image that I import since then the search engines would pick this up, since obviously search engines are blind to images and graphics unless there are descriptive file names there to see.

So would I need to import using the xhtml box instead - how does this part of things work? Well I appreciate your time and I actually hope to be a regular contributor to this forum after I have got over the major hurdles here myself. Hopefully.

Actually FW creates alt tags automatically for you based on the imported images file name - this can then be changed/edited by you in the Inspector palette. Graphic Item third tab down to the Alt Text check box and the text entry box below is where you change/edit.
