Invest in Bobbing Wide

I’m just working on a site that uses Mal’s eCommerce shopping cart to take payments.

I think the site owners have missed a step in configuring the cart… the bit that actually takes the payments through Paypal.

So I’ve set up my own cart and a Donate Now link. If anyone cares to donate to the cause now is your chance.

Image alignment – left, middle, right and none

In a WordPress post images can be uploaded and aligned quite easily. The alignment is controlled by the class of the image. The positioning is performed by the browser following the instructions in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet).

Aligned left

herb - aligned left - looking right

Centred

Herb - Alignment: Center

Right

Herb - aligned right - looking left

No alignment

Here is an image which has no alignment applied

Herb - Alignment: None

This is the paragraph AFTER the image.

How to embed a video into a WordPress page or post

This is an example of a video being embedded into a WordPress post.
[aembed:”http://www.youtube.com/v/kE0pwJ5PMDg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ 270 216]

If you want to see how it’s done then see the
sample video page

Technobabble

If you hover over the video and right click then you may get given the option to “copy embed html”.
I noticed that when I do this the size defaults to 640 pixels wide with a height of 385.
You may want to adjust the values so that the video looks OK in your blog.

How to improve your facebook profile picture

This will be short and sweet.

To improve your Facebook profile picture so that it looks good on both your profile page and in your posts, the image that you select should ideally have a width of 200 pixels, a height of 200 pixels and a border around the “picture” part of the image of 10 pixels (or so).

Here are some examples of images that look reasonable when viewed on the facebook pages. Click on the images to see if these are actually being used  in facebook.

How NOT to to improve your facebook profile photo (part 3)

OK, so we’ve had two failed attempts to improve the logo for the Anchor Golf facebook page. Well, that’s two that I’ve documented. How are we going to find the solution? I mean,  on our personal pages the pictures look fine don’t they? What’s so special about the Anchor Golf logo that prevents me from getting a nice version to display “correctly” on Facebook?

This afternoon I did a search and found a very nice blog explaining some of the rules. One of which is the maximum size of your profile picture is 200 (wide) x 600 (height)

http://www.allfacebook.com/2009/02/facebook-profile-photo-hacks/

But this doesn’t solve the problem of the scaled logo appearing cropped when shown on the wall.

I tried some more messing about by haven’t learnt the hard and fast rules yet. However, I did have a play with someone else’s logo and got some better results.
