More on Blogging Tips: Adding an image at top of entry
Rich Burridge gives some very useful blogging tips. In one of the tips he points out how he embeds a image at the top of most of his postings. He uses a HTML table to do that. As you will see on my blog, I too provide images to most of my posts and I do not use tables. I prefer to just provide the HTML IMG tag at the beginning of the paragraph and use the "align" parameter to specify if the image should appear left or right and the text automatically wraps around the image. No Tables Required. So the blog post HTML to use an image looks like:
<IMG ALIGN="right" SRC="http://your_image_url_here"> Your blog post text/paragraphs go here...No HTML tables required.
If you want the image to show on the left side, use ALIGN="left" above.
For example, in this post, I show an image of a car and a building. My HTML for the blog entry looks like:
<IMG ALIGN="right" SRC="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/alur/AutoBuilding.gif"> What does architecture mean to you? Do you care about architecture? If not, should you care? ...
This reminds me that I have to update my other blogging tips related to Technorati pinging and tagging...My old tips still work, but Roller has introduced some new features that make this even easier. Oh, well, some other time.
