New wordpress, looks great

Wordpress just released a new version. I installed the new 2.7 wordpress, and it looks great. I actually like the enhanced useability features. The weblog now is centered around your post. From the time you login you can see straight infront latest comments, a tool to do a quick post with a very clean and neat interface, lots of white, high contrast.

Best of all, clker.com plugin still works so, hopefully I’ll get some time to add a couple of features this weekend.

Adding picture to your wordpress weblog

Human beings are visual creatures. Pictures and eye sight is the second important way by which humans learn after hearing. Adding pictures related to your post will help visitors get your point. Exactly like adding pictures in a presentation, which help people understand the description made by the presenter.

Adding pictures to your weblog post will also help attract attention to your article, and increase the time your visitors stay. Pictures breaks the boring lengthy text of an article and gives the reader a break in the middle.

An important factor is then how easy is it to a) find a picture ad b) add it to your weblog?

Clker.com offers a huge collection of high quality cliparts. All cliparts are tagged with relevant words making it very easy to search and find the exact picture you’re looking for. You can directly copy the HTML code and paste it in your weblog’s page. All pictures can be easily embedded in any HTML source.

By default, all pictures are floated to the left making the text wrap around it without wasting your weblog space. You can manually remove the float and allow the picture to occupy a full horizontal area as shown above.

Thanksgiving turkey – embedded from clker.com

Nice images now can be easily embedded in your weblog! It does not take much coding to do so, all you need to do is copy the code from the clipart page and paste it into your page source.

By default, embedded cliparts are floated to the left with no border so that the text wraps nicely around it. An example is shown in this page by embedding the small turkey image for the thanksgiving holidays.

The height of the picture will be resized in the page to fit the exact height of the clip art and text.
