Picture posting trial

Monday, August 13, 2007   |   posted by Spitfire Site Editor   |   permalink

So it's time for (another) picture publishing trial using the Blogger software. Again, it will be interesting to see how Blogger handles the omage itself in terms of resolution, resizing quality and so on.


As can be seen, the results are satisfactory, if not prefect. The image has been resized to just over 410 pixels across despite setting the picture size to "large". Some 600+ pixels would be much better. Resizing quality is OK with no disturbing JPEG artefacts.

What is disturbing, though, is the CSS layout issues. A post with an image generated the large extra whitespace below its last line. Closer investigation showed that Blogger ended the image article with <div style="clear:both;"> and extra bottom margin. Fortunately there was a setting in Blogger to turn off all margin-clearing div tags.
