If we can post this on 1st Jan 2018 we can fit in the 6 guest posts to end on ST. Patrick's day

I have done a first draft. Ideally I'd like the photo of Cliff house to be much smaller! What do you think? I need to send to Brenda and Sandra to check I'm saying the correct thing!

DeniseColbert commented 6 years ago

Great stuff; I've tweaked so the images aren't below the side menu level- do you still want the house image to be smaller? I think the only way (without reducing the actual image and re-uploading- which may not even work!) is to reduce the width toggle to 1/3

I think we should put the info you've added as alt text in a caption too, shall I go ahead and do that? (we need to use a text box here as the caption field in Add Image is defunct for this purpose)

Thanks, Denise.

The alt text should tell a person with no/little sight, or someone who can't get images on their device, what a sighted person would see in the image - a sighted person can see it's a walloping big posh house, so using the alt text as a caption is going to look a little silly.

Right, found the html, or rather, two options:

What is in the picture goes here
Caption goes here
What's in that picture goes here Caption for this one goes here
I will have a go with these! Interesting, the image address is https://www.freeukgenealogy.org.uk/files/Misc-images/Blog-post-images/_631xAUTO_fit_center-center/Cliff-House-c-rightmove.jpg But trying to altering that '631' in the html just makes the picture disappear as if one had changed its name or location. We can force an image size, eg. height="242" width="242" but it is recommended to resize the image somewhere and use that, as that will stop forcing people to download and overized image, and will also enable us to keep the proportions. Off to do that now ...
