 I noticed that many images do not have descriptions or keywords associated with them. This obviously makes it hard to search for things - help!

 What makes a good title?
 Here are some tips for creating a good title for your photo: 1. Titles should be short, to the point and briefly describe your photo. For example: * Cat in Chair * Dog on Beach * Sunset in Hawaii * Red Roses * Horse Grazing
