Images

Like for headings, I'd recommend the use of Article Managers facilities for images. The reasons are easy to understand, once you know them.

First of all, images are part of your site layout. We already talked about getting a consistent layout before, so it should be pretty obvious we're trying to get this right.

Secondly, the guided Article Manager takes care of image captions (neat!) and the alt tag. You can even add a link to a bigger image (to the photoalbum?) quite easily

Thirdly, images aren't only about alignment (left / right / baseline / whatever). But they are about borders as well.

While it was common practice to include a "border=0" to all images, border's aren't considered as evil anymore. In fact, they can make your layout nicer

Fourth reason, and I guess those four should be enough: Using the vanilla img-tag is saying goodbye to advanced techniques like css shadows for images.
