File Title This will be the name of the link icon in a browser, e.g., 'My Image.jpg'. It determines whether clicking on the icon will load an image from a website other than your own. If it is specified here, then clicking on this link will load the image ONLY if it is available at the other site, and otherwise will display an error message instead of loading anything. There are cases when you may want to have this behavior (e.g., you want to host it yourself but you cannot for whatever reason). By contrast, if the File Title field is blank or not specified, then the clicking on the link will always load your own file regardless of whether it is available elsewhere or not.

Conclusion: The Article Manager is a powerful tool for managing your blog posts and articles, especially if you are making on article at a time or working with multiple authors. If your site is a one-man-band, then this might not be an essential feature for you. But if you are part of a team, then having control over the validation of your content and who can post what under which circumstances makes all the difference in helping to avoid damage to the quality of your website's reputation. Essentially, this is how Google likes it when they make one of those 'not quite right' changes to their algorithms - They want to see that you are serious about fraud prevention and safeguarding the quality of content published on your website.
