I have been trying to create a post about books, on and off last few days, and I still can’t get it right.
How do you make covers align with text?
I tried some old HTML tricks but none works. I even resorted to using some HTML codes to create a table with an idea of putting covers in one column and text in another column. It didn’t work either.
WordPress Depository isn’t that helpful (they need to re-do the organisational structure!).
To think, I used to be really good with HTML and CSS. *cries*
Serve me right for being out of action for so long.
if you have an image and you want the text to align to the top of the image, then you put (obviously using angular brackets instead of square]
[img style="vertical-align:top" src="mypicture.jpg]mytext
Ditto to align middle or bottom of text
To align horizontally
[img align="left" src="mypicture.jpg]mytext
or right.
I would be happy to correct or give specific examples either here or over email. I do this shit for a living!
This is the raw HTML I use for all my blogs:
Oopsie, it didn’t show up. Here goes…
[img alt="xyz" title="xyz" border=0 hspace=8 vpsace=2 align=left valign=_top src="http://xyz"]
