anyone an idea please?

this is driving me nuts. now safari is ignoring the 450px too and is making the image too big for the column. grrr …

hi moshu
sorry, my bad… im not too good at these coding things ?? this is why I woulnt be too fond of trying to change the column ‘by hand’ without knowing what to do precisly.
on the other hand I do like kubrick a lot, so I would be nice keeping it.

Therefore I just tried to tweak the css code of flickr so I matches 450px. Its kinda strange, Firefox and Safari (Im on mac os x) do render the image correctly with 450px even after hittin the reload button.
internet explorer just ignores the code and makes the image too wide. please see this screenshot https://img242.echo.cx/img242/7977/blog9xq.jpg as a reference. topleft IE, left Safari and right Firefox.
Maybe its just related to this old version of IE. Perhaps someone could try it on IE6?

the flickr code is the following:

<style type=”text/css”>
.flickr-photo
{
border: solid 1px #000000;
width: 450px;
height: 337.5px;
}
.flickr-yourcomment { }
.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }
.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }
</style>

<div class=”flickr-frame”>
<img src=”{photo_src}” class=”flickr-photo” alt=”” />

<span class=”flickr-caption”>{photo_title}, originally uploaded by {uploader_name}.</span>
</div>

<p class=”flickr-yourcomment”>
{description}

Thanks in advance!

I just reread your post. Maybe thats the answer. Its not changeable. Are there any possibilities to solve this one?

hi moshu
I think you got me wrong. Im not trying to change the header image of my blog but I want to change the width of the main text column to 500px so every midsize photo I add through my flickr account will be shown properly and not cropped or just to big for the column which is now my prob.

please have a look at this https://img270.echo.cx/img270/2051/blog9ww.jpg it visualizes my the issue…

By the way, I already tried to change the css file according to the size of the images. It doesnt work too.

Heres the code snippet:

[code]
.widecolumn {
padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
margin: 5px 0 0 150px;
width: 500px;
}
[/code]

Ive contacted Michael Heilemann about this because we already had this one discussed in february before wp1.5…
Seems like he stopped replying to support questions.

Cant anybody comment on this issue? Dont know where to ask elsewhere.
Thanks in advance

Hey Forum
Ive contacted the flickr support. they said the badge or thumbnails are already centered but Ive got to change the width in the code so it matches the width of the right column. then the thumbnails will appear centered on my blog. the standard width provided by the generated flickr code is 120px. Ive played around but didnt find the correct value.
And now to my question ??
I didnt find any number regarding the width of the right column in the code. Is there any at all or is the width just dynamically chosen?

I hope somebody of you can help me out!
