... except that you cannot host your pictures for now on eurotrib. Get a hosting site if you don't have one, and use the URL from there to follow ths instructions in the link above. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
However, note: if you want to post something at EuroTrib, make sure it is not wider than 600 pixels. If you don't have an image software to make a smaller version, type width="600" (with spaces before and after) after img - it'll look something like this:
< img width="600" src="http://image.picsplace.to/a/b/yourimage.jpg" > *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
I hate to say this, since your photos, be they of locomotives or landscapes as above, are fantastic -- but they systematically over-widen ET for me. I just checked, by blocking images from your picserver so the photo of Banska Stiavnica didn't come up. Zap, the ET page was the right width.
If everyone else has their screens set at 1024 width, I shall cease and desist ;)
(And maybe there's something I have overlooked or don't understand at all...)
ps: your legendary TM tags, afew, are barely visible on my screen
I'm going to have to stick up for myself, if you see what I mean. Er... As you know since you stole my code (watch out, there's a DRM in there, and when that new French law gets voted in before Christmas, you'll be right in the shit), I just used the small font size from the ET style sheet for my tag, so presumably, ET is kinda vaguely designed with less enormous screens than yours in mind.
Anyway, small is beautiful. Hah.
Still? Sorry, didn't thought of users like you...
So images should not be wider than that, and the user guide suggests 400 pixels to avoid messing other users' screens up.
Double-sorry - I either forgot or never read that part... may try to squeeze my images down to 400. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Seriously, both Jérôme's above uploaded photos and my uploaded graphs for the OECD education statistics are multiples of 20kb. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Seems to me many websites have a basic 800x600 design, and though ET isn't limited by it, it's based on it...
Obviously, if everyone's got a bigger one than me, I'm just going to shut up :-)
On the other hand, a well-designed website should be browsable with a text-only browser (such as Lynx). And, in the age of hand-held devices like phones and blackberries, 800x600 is a luxury.
Inline images should have ALT text, too. tens of millions of people stand to see their lives ruined because the bureaucrats at the ECB don't understand introductory economics -- Dean Baker
I never thought about website design, but now that you said, I see a lot of what I visit (also BBC's or SPIEGEL ON-LINE's) are indeed for 800x600 - but others are of a dynamic design.
As I said, I will be more careful from now on. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Actually my screen is not large for any particular pleasure of mine like CGI or games or whatever of the sort, it's just that I can then fit a lot more code horizontally in it and it then makes my work easier (I get annoyed at programmers who wrap their code around to fit on 800x600 screens, it makes the code more annoying to read, to me that is). That's also why I had tried 2 screens, then it was awesome - I could write really large lines of code stretching from one screen to the other, this was useful for some features I used.
But like I said, the problem with 2 screens it that it becomes kind of a gadget, as you can then drag windows from one screen to the other, decide what opens where etc etc. And I ended up wasting a lot of time shifting things around, which I didn't do before that (I'd then -and now- just pile things on top of each other).
