If you want to add Alt descriptions to your image tags, you must modify the image tag like this:

This is the Alternate Text

So, go to your Blocks admin page, find the custom block, hit the edit link,, and just modify the code where your image is embedded in that block. You are basically just adding alt="This is the Alternate Text" inside the image tag.

On another note, if you are adding this Alt description to help with youR XOOPS site SEO, you may also want to change your file names so that they are more keyword descriptive....as this will also help your SEO efforts. You would have to change the reference to the image file in your custom blocks, as well as actually changing the file name where it is uploaded to the server. Here's an article that I recently wrote about image file names for XOOPS SEO.
