# Yup.
Hence the usefulness of the crop tool.

Lowers the file size and the dimensions at the same time.
or at least that's what they taught me in know-it-all school.

# Declaring the image size makes the page render more quickly.
It's basically a good habit to get into.

title is optional, but will give you tooltip text for browsers other than IE.

alt and the closing slash are required by the XHTML standard, so they're good habits to get into as well.

More accurately a lazy geek who thinks it's best to get the good habits in earlier rather than having to learn stuff twice.
