Thank you

With an anchor element, just like anything else.

Same as any other image.

<a href="someOther.html">
<img
src="images/mylogo.jpg"
width="50"
height="41"
alt="logo" />
</a>

"logo" is pretty poor alt text. It should be a replacement for an image, not
a brief description of it (sometimes a brief description is a good
replacement, but not usually).

Remember, if images are turned off, this is the same as:

<a href="someOther.html">logo</a>

Does that make sense?

Certainly does, but in the absence of more information about
what his business or lack thereof is, 'logo' was about the best
I could come up with.

Question is a little vague, a URL of your current efforts would help.

If you mean make an image a clickable link then

<a href="http://example.com"><img src="logoImage.jpg" alt="My Site"></a>

alt="Foo corporation" (if the name of the corporation isn't already
there in text alongside), or alt="" if it isn't. Works for any
unspecified corporation, and it's obvious how to adapt it.

alt="logo" is almost certainly wrong, and sets others a bad model to
work from.

Well, as long as we're going to be _fanciful_, I would prefer:
alt = "logo of the Foo corporation -- flock of vultures attacking a
rabbit which is sitting atop a pyramid with an eye on it"

The information that it _is_ a logo is of some importance to
_some_ people.

But is it important in the context of the document?

In most cases the purpose of displaying a logo is to brand a page, not to
inform people what the logo looks like. Your example might be reasonable on
a page where the purpose is to display the company logo (although such a
page would probably have some or all of that information in prose anyway).

I believe that if I were blind, I would want to know not only
what the company was, but that I was 'looking' at a logo.

If the logo actually has an image that is not a
non-objective image, the web author should also give a description of it.
Again, that's what I would want to 'see' if I were unsighted. Do note that
I peppered my last post with "some". I can't speak for everyone, but
that's the kind of information I would want.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you and Allen are actually
whacking me about what you might call sloppy pedagogy on my part.
I shall consider myself properly chastised, and will include a full
length, highly fanciful alt text on future examples -- or, at least
I will if I feel energetic enough.)
