    1. Jerry: See, now, to me, that button is in the worst possible spot.
      George: Really?
      Jerry: Oh yeah. The second button is the key button. It literally makes or breaks the shirt. Look at it: it’s too high, it’s in no-man’s land.
      George: Haven’t we had this conversation before?
      Jerry: You think?
      George: I think we have.
      Jerry: Yeah, maybe we have.Report

  1. Erik, for some reason, I’m not receiving follow up notifications for any of the posts on the main site. I also dont get any even for replies to my own post.Report

  2. When you have a chance, could you maybe send over some help with how to change the video box in the upper-right corner? I’d like to update my sub-blog’s video from Bach’s Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1 — while it is indeed beautiful, there are some other things Will or I might like to put up there from time to time.Report

  3. This should be a page — linked discreetly from the header bar — rather than a post that you have to re-make every so often.Report

  4. Two notes:

    1. I like how you have it now with the Twitter, Facebook, Subscribe thing in the upper corner, as opposed to an advert, since it’s such a prime spot.

    2. I’ve followed these instructions, step-by-step, three times now and not been able to get a picture in the post. It just doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve got a two year old Dell, so I don’t think that’s it. I have never been able to insert videos either, following the standard protocol for that too.Report

    1. Write a post and before you publish it email me. Do everything you are doing now. I will send you back screenshots and an explanation.

      For videos, you need to copy the “old” YouTube code and insert in the HTML not the Visual editor.Report

      1. I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but I’ve got a draft in there ready to go and I’ve tried publishing it a few times with no picture showing up. You’ll see the image link under “Post Image”, if you open it up to edit. I’m really not sure what the problem is with it. I’ve sent you an email so you can let me know what I’m doing wrong.Report

  5. So my Road Trip w/ Husky has now marched down the page to div class teasers_box . No thumbnail image, though it obviously shows up in the gallery.   Not sure why at this point.Report

    1. BlaiseP – your problem is that you’re inserting the image (and I’m only referring to the first image here) rather than taking the link and putting it in the Post Image box. Don’t insert, just place the link there.Report

  6. Is there a reason why the pages no longer fit themselves to the width of my browser window?  Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OS 10.7.3.  Something somewhere forcing the width to a fixed number of pixels?Report

  7. Hey LoOG,

    Just re-stumbled upon this website yesterday after a little while, and thought to myself, batch image resizing can’t be so hard! And then I stumbled upon this — http://birme.net/

    It’s fantastic.

    Enjoy it.

    Best,
