Adding drop shadows to pictures and such

I haven’t seen a how to for this when I looked, only plugins.

you shouldn’t need a plugin for this. It is a simple line of CSS coding that will do this for you.

It is as follows:

box-shadow: 5px 1px 5px 5px #555555;

You can adjust the the parameters. I can’t remember the order but each number is on side of the picture or container. You can adjust each one so that drop shadow goes in the direction and style you want. You can put in any hex code at the end of the code to choose color and shade of your drop shadow.

This is mainly for pictures btw… but should be able to be applied to most any “box” such as a table or div container.

For pictures simply click on the picture in the visual editor.
Then click on the mini picture for picture options.
Go to advanced options.
Copy and paste code to styles.
Then adjust the parameters as you want them.

Adds a nice pop effect to pictures and containers.
