No valign=”center”

Placing valign=”center” in the image tag of the “A conversation” header image caused FireFox to center the main content column, and pushed the sidebar below the main content.  Don’t do it.  <img border=”0″ valign=”center” src=”http://www.nelanews.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/a-conversation-01.png”> So, I pushed the image down from the top of the container with some extra blank space at the top, [...]

The final bg-portrait image size must be 319 pixels in width by 221 pixels in height.  (Measuring the sides of the transparent background image) If any other size, the image will be cropped, or you will see funny artifacts:

Contact Form

I changed the form on the “Contact Us’ page to a Wufoo form http://wufoo.com/ I think Wufoo offers more options than the Contact II plugin I was using, and I like the layout options better. After setting up all your options at Wufoo, you simply paste the Wufoo code into the HTML view of a page, [...]

When I replace the bg-portrait images with mine that use a transparent background … they will be .png images rather than .jpg images (Standard JPG does not support transparency)… So I will need to change this line in the header.php file <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(’stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” /> <style type=”text/css”> #portrait-bg { background:url(<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/images/bg-portrait<?php echo (rand()%10); ?>.jpg); [...]

Unjustified

I don’t like the funny spacing produced by justified text, so I changed this /************************************* +Entry *************************************/ .entry { margin-bottom:0; text-align:justify; to this: /************************************* +Entry *************************************/ .entry { margin-bottom:0; text-align:left;

Portrait Image, tricky-tricky

11. September 2008

0 Comments

Well, look at that. I’m also running Amazing Grace experiments on http://www.clutteredshelf.com and I thought I’d try simply replacing the portrait images, bg-portrait0.jpg through bg-portrait9.jpg with my own images… and I wondered why the border styling disappeared. News flash! The border was not created by CSS styling, it is part of the image. As is [...]
