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.

More useful 404 (page not found) page

It is quite frustrating when accessing a site and reached a 404 page. Usually people would just click back or simply close the browser.

However, it is always recommended to make this 404 page useful. This way you would be able to keep your potential client when they fail to reach a page.

The Google Webmaster Central blog has announced that an ‘enhanced 404 page’ can be created in the webmaster tools. Once created, a widget can be placed on your customized 404 page. The page would then display something like this:

Enhanced 404 Page

It contains:

  • A link to the parent sub-directory
  • A link to the sitemap
  • A Google Search box

To obtain the widget, go to ‘Enhance 404 Pages’ section in webmaster tools, and a Javascript would be generated.  Copy and paste the code and you are done.  Remember to return a 404 code.
