In reply to: Some questions about keywords (tags)1. Yeah but I’m interested to know what the actual code is. Is it specific to Technorati, or is it part of strict HTML?
2. To elaborate, I’m trying to get an idea of how important keywords are. I think they’re a cool idea but I’m not particurlarly interested in using them if they’re just for one site, being Technorati. I’d like to think that they will be utilised more and more as time goes on by many different search engines and other services.
4. I just don’t like the label “tags”. It’s not a very intuitive description, especially for most of my readers who are not “insiders” of the blog culture. “Keywords” is a much better description I think.

In reply to: How to move files from /blog to / without breaking linksAdded
redirect 301 /blog https://last-straw.net/
and this appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to move files from /blog to / without breaking linksOh yeah, https://last-straw.net/blog doesn’t work but https://last-straw.net/blog/ does. What’s that about?
Yeap, redone my permalinks and deleted cache.

In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesAh, cool, thanks.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesI’ve actually ended up adding the following to my stylesheet:
img.border {
border: 1px solid #000;
}img.margin-r {
margin-right: 10px;
}img.margin-l {
margin-left: 10px;
}img.border-margin-r {
border: 1px solid #000;
margin-right: 10px;
}img.border-margin-l {
border: 1px solid #000;
margin-left: 10px;
}This then gives me the ability to control image borders and margins. Now, if only I could add a pulldown menu to the “Insert/edit image” popup window with these options!

In reply to: When is image “description” ever used?Hmm, I hope so. I assume I need to configure my config.php file or something. I’ll have a search around.

In reply to: When is image “description” ever used?How hang on, I thought it did anyway. No what’s going wrong is that when I add an image to one of my posts the title tag is not being added, only the alt tag. Is there any way to make it add the title tag (i.e. the description) too?
As opposed to adding it manually.

In reply to: When is image “description” ever used?Hmm, you know the floating title when you mouse over a link, is there any way to invoke this for an image that isn’t linked to anything?

In reply to: Thumbnails no longer associated with imagesI’m pretty sure this is related to this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/59658
I’m going to re-upload all my images and then re-add them to my blog posts using the WP interface. The second step being one I did manually previously.

In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesOut of interest, why would you use img.border as opposed to .border?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesGreat, that did the trick. I was also able to use this on linked images (by adding the border class), which overrides: a img { border: none; }

In reply to: When is image “description” ever used?Ah okay, so best to make sure its filled in. Think I’ll just add same text to title and description.

In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesYeah, emoticons are in posts, although I could just refrain from using them.
.border p img didn’t seem to work.
This was in the stylesheet:
p img {
padding: 0;
max-width: 100%;
}So I added this:
.border p img {
padding: 0;
max-width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #000;
}And then added class=”border” to one my images but it didn’t work. Any ideas?

In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesOne thing though, my stylesheet (Kubrick) has p img instead of just img.
How do I make a new class for borders? Will this work:
.border p img

In reply to: Adding a border to selected imagesThanks Marcy, however this adds borders to emoticons. Should be able to sort it our from here though, thanks.
