Images:

Could you advise what you think is the best image size for us to include on the event listings and blog posts?

I have resized the image on the one remaining active fellowship advert to 800 x 350 and it looks ok. What do you think? It would be nice to keep imagery standard across all the pages wherever possible. I wonder if it's too big and would welcome your thoughts. I dug out the original notes from my web training all those moons ago and this was the image size you suggested back then (which we then forgot about in haste!!)

Check CTK or ways to improve WYSIWYG...

The strategy I would suggest for this is to change the height of the images to use a relative value, instead of an absolute one. These are the steps (from a previous e-mail):

For all those contents that are not automatised, this is definitely a good practice to be sure the layout is not broken. I created manual templates "to copy and paste" for the previous version for this, but if you notice any picture from previous contents breaks the layout you just need to replace the width with a relative value, instead of an absolute one.

For example:

At http://drozas.com/blog/a-whole-new-world-what-next-toby-lowe-newcastle-university , click "Edit" then "Source"

Replace (first line):

uncertainty blog

by

uncertainty blog

Ensure the format is "Full HTML"

I did this for some of the nodes (blog posts) and they look OK in desktop and cellphones:

http://drozas.com/blog/a-whole-new-world-what-next-toby-lowe-newcastle-university
http://drozas.com/blog/complexity-settings-to-rescue-a-new-lease-of-life-for-evidence-based-policy
http://drozas.com/blog/models-as-interested-amateurs

The percentage could be different (e.g. 80%) and it relates to the width of the template section.

Hope this helps!

Best,

David
