Fr, Nov 30, 2007Now there's more sizes
Feedback is that you want more sizes.
Now there's three more: 200, 500, 800. All you need do is append the switch at the end of the shortcut.
Below is my original— the default, without any size information. Its actual size is 320 pixels wide. The (2) merely means that this is second shortcut.
Appending the number to the end of the shortcut, give me a small one (200) and a largest one (500) for news items.
The 800 size will not fit into the central news items column! It's only for internal pages, stories. It's huge, nearly full sized.
Here's the 500 pixel wide one, see how it takes the full width of the column? Personally, I prefer the 200 version. Readers get a gist from this and if they're interested they can pop it out, bigger. This 500 version is too wide, too high for my liking, but it's what you've asked for.
But! What I've also done is to take out the stylesheets gumph. This means that you can no longer edit the captions—you just can't see them. Now, it's much easier to move your document around, you just need the shortcut, as everything is hidden in that shortcut.
If you get your caption wrong, that is if you make a misspelling in your file name of the document, then you're screwed. You'll need to email it in again. Of course, many of you merely add the switch [nc] to the subject line or the file name anyway, for no captions.
I'm done this for thumbnailed pictures too. I see many are moving the emailed thumbs around, and getting into a mess. Were there no stylesheet divs I know there'd be no mess. You're still be able to edit the captions, but in the same place you edit the thumb, with the edit link under each thumb. This is much cleaner, much easier. I'll write a how to on this soon, though it's that simple...
