Normally user do not think about image name before uploading on the blog remember it is key to get higher rank in search engine. 

Example:

Use these tags only with original size of image this is called image Scaling. Image compression is used to minimize the image load on the web you can use adobe photoshop for this Go to file - save for web and you can use Yahoo free tool for image compression Smush.it
