SEO Image Optimisation and Textpattern
One of the drawbacks of the way Textpattern manages images is that each image is given a numerical file name when uploaded to the Images tab.
While I’m happy playing around with the alt and even a long description using the caption you’re stuck with a numerical file name.
My assumption is that if I want to give my images a reasonable file name, I’ll need to manually host/manage them…

The htaccess-based half-way-house approach described in this thread works quite nicely, I find, although I have one host where the slash doesn’t work but another character like an underscore or hash does.

Re: SEO Image Optimisation and Textpattern
A little bit off-topic but related to this… ¿could it be possible with htaccess to simulate a subdomain for the images folder in order to improve the load speed in the client side?
I am thinking on something like http://images.mytextpatternsite.com responses with the content of http://www.mytextpatternsite.com/images

Jorge, you should be able to do that already with this line in config.php – see this txptip. You could probably combine the htaccess rule from maniqui in that directory too.
