** Description changed:

  Parent bug: Please make a new bug report for each section that is fixed
  which references this bug in the description, and add a comment here
  with the new bug number.
  
  To be accessible to screen readers, all images and image-like elements
  need an alt attribute specified. This should either describe what the
  image looks like or what it does (if it's an image link or button).
  
  The following areas are affected
  - Close button in homeinfo (introductory section on Dashboard) [now in Bug #1278198]
  - Edit and delete buttons in Journal (turns out they need 'alt' rather than 'value') [now in Bug #1276397]
  - Delete buttons in Notes [now in Bug #1276397]
  - Skin previews [now in Bug #1278202]
  
  Also, the top "Settings" image should have null alt text set since the
  text "Settings" is immediately beside it (at the moment, screen readers
- read out "Settings Settings")
+ read out "Settings Settings") [now in Bug #1282872]
  
  Affects latest master
