 * Good evening.
 * I recently was looking into Adsense and was advised to change the “alt text” 
   for my image files to the image description rather than it just showing an image
   size, or file name. Is there any other way to make these changes besides going
   through every post in dashboard, editing the images alt text and updating? This
   seems very tedious especially for having many images. Is there a way to edit 
   the source code to speed up the process? Or any other ways?
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Anthony

 * I personally think that is the easiest route 🙂
    The other route I know of, is
   to manually edit your database #very-tedious
