Image Alignment Problem in WordPress

Have you ever experienced image alignment problems in WordPress blogs? This is probably because your theme hasn’t been designed for the alignment code that WordPress is using.

To fix this, all you have to do is to include these code in the CSS file of the current theme:

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}

img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}

.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left;
}

This has been changed since WordPress 2.5.

Subscribe to my Newsletter & RSS Feed

You may notice that I have recently added an email subscription form.  I was using Feedburner as my RSS & email subscription agent, but I found that I am not able to send emails to my subscribers.  Only my posts would be delivered.

Therefore I have decided to install the Subscribe 2 plugin and manage the email by myself.

I strongly encourage you to subscribe to my feed via email.  All you have to do is to fill in this form below:


 

You will receive a confirmation email.  Click on the link and you will receive emails from me when I have a new post.  Don’t worry, you will only receive them once per day at most.  And I am not going to give your email addresses to anybody else.

You may also want to subscribe via RSS instead.

Windows Live Spaces

There has recently been some improvement on Windows Live Spaces.  If you are into blogging your own life, you would probably be using this service regularly.

1. Photos are now seperated into Windows Live Photos, so that you can manage it more easily.

2. The new space has a newer layout – larger fonts and no banner ads.

3. Space profile becomes part of Live profile.

4. Change of dashboard to become more robust and complete.

Fun with WordPress MU

I was playing around with several web applications recently, due to interest + project requirement. One of the application that I installed was WordPress MU.

It is surely a sweet program. If you do everything right, it really only takes 2 minutes.

But I spent a few hours. This is because:

1. I am trying out a new hosting account. I host this website in iPowerWeb. The ‘localhost’ should be changed to ‘username.ipowermysql.com’.

(2. My friend Rendy saved my time with finding out that iPowerWeb have CGI disabled by default. Hence I enabled it before I did anything. Thanks Rendy. If I have read his blog before I install, I would have saved time on point 1 above, too.)

3. That is actually a very stupid one. After I uploaded everything, I created a wp-config.php file with my database information in it. And I got an error ‘No WPMU site defined on this host’. I google’d a lot and found that I actually should not create this file. The installation process would create the necessary files automatically.

Surely will have more fun when I play around with it even more.
