After a weird issue was pointed out to me on my blog, which incidentally I did fix, the discussion came up about how the way web pages display on different systems and browsers. This is something I often forget.
Way back the options were very limited, the majority of people browsed on the industry standard so if it looked good to the creator using the industry standard, it was probably good for most, right? Today the options are vast both in hardware and software. As well as connectivity.
I’m still dealing with another issue that doesn’t seem like a big deal to me but may to others. When I post a photo such as this:
(don’t be distracted by the cuteness)
If you move your mouse starting at the left edge of the blog content space, about 5mm the image become clickable even though you are no where near the image. This continues until about 5mm from the opposite edge. I’m really not sure how to change this or if it’s even an issue other than accidentally clicking the image.
My first thought to the solution of this problem was to post the image like this:
But then I wonder if that is just way too big causing unnecessary scrolling and perhaps an image that no longer fits with the blog content area depending on the system. Or even just it being annoyingly large.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
- Is my photo issue a non-issue in the original size?
- Does the large image fit in the content box for you? OR is it being cut off or running over the box?
