Align Your Images, People!

Not too long ago, I wrote an article on how to properly handle images for your blog. I’ve been browsing through the web, and I’m seeing a lot of unaligned images. They’re just floating on the left or the right, without any text wrapping it.

You have to add align=”right”, align=”left”, or align=”center” tags to your HTML to the images to make things look a lot better. If you use CSS, which is way better, read up on W3C’s guide. When you have an image that’s just there without any alignment, it looks very unprofessional.

Keep in mind that images add life into your posts, and it can be a major determining factor for how attractive your blog looks.

I usually just use the command when dealing with images.

I agree with you. Hanging images will bang the visitor. Just now I have made the images in my blog in the center. Thanks for motivating us!!!

WordPress can easily align images the way I want. I always use that feature.

I agree with you about hanging images, they look awful!

It really is important to align your images, and make it look as neat as possible as you can. I've seen some really bad examples of images overlapping text with other portions of the website in the past, hehe.

Till then,

Thanks for the post. I usually get my blog posts from a free tool called zemanta. Just 1 click and it usually aligns itself automatically.
