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.

YouTube Launches Moron Detector

I kind of like the sense of humour of Google.

To prevent people leaving un-useful (aka crab) comment on YouTube videos, the team developed a new feature for YouTube.

Now when you leave a comment on a video, you can choose to have it read to you.  Apparently you would (probably) found that you are a moron when you listen to your own message.

The aim of having this feature is to improve the quality of discussion on this freewheeling video sharing site.
