what the heck does that mean

Last Update: February 28, 2011

For me the thing that stops me cold in this training is when I come upon a phrase or word that makes me think "What the heck is that"? 

Now when I'm reading something, trying to learn it, and I hit on such a word or phrase, I logically think "well I need to know what this means or refers to".  Most of the time that thought is correct because if I just keep going and ignore it (hoping the meaning will get revealed) often times I end up totally lost and frustrated.  Mind you some of the time it does get revealed, but in this training - because of the medium it deals with ie. the intenet and computers - often the author of the articles just assumes you know what he/she is referring to.

My latest roadblock is "tags" or "alt tags" re:  images.  I've garnered that "images" refers to pictures (I hope that's right), but what the heck are the tags?

I did a search on WA but to no avail.  So I just thought I'd post here to vent my frustration.  Actually it's more than frustration - there's almost a sense of panic, like I'll totally fail at this because I don't understand what the heck they're talking about.   Calm Eileiah calm, the world will not come to an end.

Think I'll go search the forums.  Stay tuned....
