True. But then you’d run into people who didn’t want that to happen automatically.

Look in your styles.css and update that. If you want images to have a certain spacing around them automatically, add this:

img {padding:5px}

That will give you a five-pixel padding on *every* side of every image. Automatically.

If you want padding just on one side, or on the right or left side depending on whether the image is on the left or right, then you have to do more.

Really, we all want automatic. It’s just that we don’t all want the same things to be automatic. 🙂

Well, you could always insert the image, then write the CSS into the code.

As well, I believe there are some default styles in style.css which deal with centering, left-aligning, etc. You could update those (or add new ones called .imgleft or something of that nature). For instance:

In style.css:
.imgleft {float:left; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px}

In post:
<img src=”some.jpg” height=”X” width=”X” class=”imgleft” alt=”description”>

That would be the most streamlined method I can think of today. That is, you’d need to edit in the coding window in order to apply the class to the image, but that’s the way it goes if you want to get a little fancy.

Actually, I test in Opera and Firefox first (to ensure the code is correct), and then deal with IE.

But that’s just my preference … I’d rather tweak correct code for IE than create incorrect code that I must then fix for browsers that display more standardly.

Find out whether you have the correct:

– username
– password
– hostname (“localhost” or your domain name)
– database name

If you’re not sure, contact your web host.

These go in the wp-config.php file.

In IE6, the left and right sidebars (columns) are in their proper places below the header, but the middle column is *below* the two sidebars.

This often happens in IE if the column container has too much side margins — IE tends to do weird things with margins, and so the column won’t fit into the space it’s been assigned because IE says it’s larger than what you specified.

For this reason, I tend not to give containers (for example, divs) left/right margins if possible, but only padding.

You may have to go through the wonderful experience of learning how to deal with margins and IE. Otherwise, I’d put any margins on the sidebars rather than on the middle column.

… I hope that was intelligible. It’s been a l-o-n-g day.

Yes. Use a search engine (Google, Yahoo, etc.) to search for these words (without the quotes):

“.htaccess” “mod_rewrite” “redirect”

You’d have to point all the domains at the blog.

That said, you’d be better off having one domain as the “main” one, and then redirecting all the others to the main domain.

Is it actually set to float:right in your CSS?

(This is where it gets fun with IE.)
