How to not let large images on your friends page get you down.

If your problem with images is that they screw up the formatting on your friends page (and I know apod is a big offender in this regard), then this little alteration to your journal's code will make you happy. Your nice columns will never stretch and distort again.


Go here. You should see four tabs: ‘Basics’, ‘Look and Feel’, ‘Custom Options’, and ‘Advanced’. Click on ‘Custom Options’.

Now you should see, just below the tabs, a whole row of sections to chose from. Choose ‘Custom CSS’.

Now you should see a series of options, with ‘Custom Style Sheet’ at the bottom, and a large text input area next to it.

Into this text area, enter

.entryText {
    overflow: auto;
}

and click ‘Save Changes’.

Now, whenever an image is too big to fit in the column, it will be contained within the appropriate area, and have scrollbars to let you see it. If no large image (or non-breakable text) appears, you won't see any difference.



You're welcome.


(EDIT: this is dependent on what style you're using, of course. Mine uses class="entryText". Others might use class="entry", or class="entry_text", or something even more exotic. Look at the source code of your friends page (^U in firefox), and see what class is being used in your style.)

John Howard: Employed = rich and fat.

John Howard declares that there is no such thing as the “working poor” if he says that there isn't.

I mean, he pushes the whole WorkChoices thing predicated on it making it easier for people to get entry-level jobs (you know, those low-paid menial ones), largely by making it possible for the pay and conditions of these jobs to be even lower and more onerous than they were, and easier for people to be churned if they make a fuss. This is in conjunction with the definition of ‘employed’ as having work for more than an hour per week.

But no, Ratbastard doesn't personally know any poor people, so it can't be a real problem, can it?


I can't find the words adequate to describe everything I find wrong with what Howard said here.
