    Moshu,

    Thanks for the pointer. The problem is that I’ve read this page as well as many others very carefully, and while I seem to find what I need fairly quickly when customizing WP this particular case seems to be different. I have found many many different approaches both in Codex as well as from other users, though none of them satisfy my needs properly.

    I have tried to be very specific in my post. If there is something I am missing, can you please return the respect and be specific in your replies? I realize this may be a simple oversight, but I would not have posted here if I had not searched for a solution to this problem for many hours already.

    Thank you.

    So am I to understand that there is no way to generate posts based off of RSS feeds? How about a plugin that creates and sends emails from your wordpress admin interface to an account that is set up to accept email posts?

    I modified my media.php file, and though not the comprehensive solution I’d love to have eventually, it is a HUGE help and definitely speeds up posting multiple images. Thanks!

    Otto, Do you know if you can change things like resample methods (bicubic, bilinear, etc) as well as sharpening with a plugin?

    Also, can you take a look at my post here:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/166977?replies=7

    and tell me if this is something automattic might look at in the near future, or if we need to rely on a plugin for an intuitive image control such as this?

    First off, as a long time WP user, I want to say I am very pleased so far with 2.5. Being a full time photographer, I was inclined to upgrade for the multiple image upload feature. However, I feel that this feature, like all new features, is young and incomplete. While technically it’s exactly as advertised (you can upload multiple files at once), it’s actually likely to be more work than the old version of WP if you are uploading many images and adding titles to each image. Here’s what I think should happen:

    Step 1: Upload the images
    —they crunch, GOOD!
    Step 2: Click on each separate image to modify individual details (as you can do now)
    —OR—
    —Modify the “Apply to All” settings to create/change settings on all images in gallery at once
    Step 3: Send all images from gallery to post (formatted in the post exactly as they would be should you add them individually.)

    That’s it. Currently you have to modify each and every image one at a time, and then place them in the post one at a time. This is a huge problem if you are adding 30-50 images per post at a time as I am, especially as the post grows longer with each image insertion. We have bulk upload, now let’s get a real “BULK ADD” feature.

    Hopefully this all makes sense.

    Jay,

    I just gotta talk to you. Your work is great. You’ve totally got my flava’. I am a fellow photographer, and would love to chat, if you’re into that.

    Check out my latest work at http://www.redlens.com/fuse/ and drop me a line at http://redlens.com/contact.html

    As far as the theme, I’ve got some questions, thoughts and feedback on that as well.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    freeeeaaaaking HOOOOT! I really love the look/feel, and I’m jealous. It’s clean, clear, beautiful, and I think it’s fairly straightforward. Very nice work. Will look around more….

    BTW, the BR’s are a different issue. I was able to take them out of my version of your code, because I was working with static code, but you may still have issues with them. The solution above will at least get you on the way so when you can get the BR’s out of the way, you’ll be good to go.

    newitus,

    I downloaded your output source, and the information I gave you was incorrect. However, your p element is indeed collapsing. You can see by adding this to the p element that is encasing your table:

    change "<p>" to "<p style="border: solid 1px red;">"

    Here’s what worked for me:

    You currently have a “p” element encasing the table, and for some reason, that’s collapsing. Change this to a div element, and your problems disappear. Try this:

    <p>(Moving Blankets)</p>
    <div>
    <TABLE BORDER="1">
    <TR>....</TR>
    </TABLE>
    </div>

    Changing this to a div element causes the table to be housed correctly, and your collapse no longer occurs. Check out the validator page to see what other problems might be getting in your way:

    Hope this helps!

    p.s. this still won’t fix the BR’s appearing from apparently nowhere, but it might put the one at the bottom of the table back where it belongs. It will also get rid of the gap from the bottom margin of the collapsing p element.

    you’re right, Otto42. I was referring to his code he pasted here, not specifically to that section in his output source. If those BR’s aren’t there in his original source, then this is a WP bug, isn’t it?

    Also, part of his problem appears to be a case of a collapsing p element which should be surrounding the table. Is this what I’m seeing there? (only saw it when I went to the dom inspector). This would also seem the case since in the dom inspector, there are two BR’s before the table, where in his output source there is only one before the table, and one after it. I’m guessing this is much of the issue.

    Newitus, try putting this at the end of your table, before the closing P tag:

    <p class="clearing"></p>

    Then, in your stylesheet, put this:

    .clearing {
    	clear: both;
    	display: block;
    	border: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	margin: 0;
    }

    If this isn’t a collapsing P element, then forget I even spoke.

    by the way, the margin at the bottom of your p tags is specified in your css file. You can override this margin globally for your p tags if you like by changing the class in that file.

    newitus,

    change this:
    <p>(Moving Blankets)</p>

    to this:
    <p style=”margin-bottom: 0px;”>(Moving Blankets)</p>

    That can be modified, btw, to be any value you like. If you’d like a 5px margin on the bottom, then you can change 0px to 5px.

    Ooooh, I’m liking it! I think the colors are great, and the stucture is fairly clean. I like the drop shadow too. I’m guessing you’re not going to use the font that says “your logo” anywhere on the site? It’s not fitting, and somewhat distracting. But I bet you already knew this, so I doubt that’s helpful.

    One thing I would recommend, however, is to center the text on the top navigation tabs. Either this, or eliminate the 23px right padding on the (li a span) in your navigation.

    Other than that, it’s looking pretty sweet. I really do love your color combinations, and the full page “stretch”. I may need to borrow from your look on one of my next projects!

    Good work!
