Should Not Bump Into Blog Pictures

Note that the text literally runs up against the photo in the first example below. It is not very attractive and reduces the white space on the page. White space makes the overall appearance of a document more attractive in addition to making it more easily read.

Charlestown is a highly desireable and sought after town home community in the heart of Springfield. The homes and yard enclosures are all brick. The 497 homes were built between 1968 and 1973. Finished liviing area ranges from 1,320 square feet to 1,798 square feet. A very active homeowner's association can take credit for the excellent appearance of the community

The proof is in the picture to the right.Metrobus Route 18G Express Service to the Pentagon Metro Station operates on Forrester Boulevard close to Charlestown property The time to the Pentagon is 30 minutes This would be a good transfer point if you are continuing on to Washington, DC.

In the second block of text below there is quite a bit of white space between the text and the photo. The text is easier to read and the photo shows more prominently.

THE FIX IS SO SIMPLE EVEN I CAN DO IT!!!!


FIRST, make certain you click on the Flush Left icon as you begin to type - that by itself will make an improvement. Using Justify does not look good in a blog unless you like the "newspaper look".

SECOND, When you insert a picture or graphic there are three tabs at the top of the box - one is "Appearance" and it is pictured below.

  • Clicking in the box labeled "alignment" will give you a wide range of placement options - I obviously chose right for the examples above
  • Dimensions is one you already use to set the size - nothing magical here
THIRD. Here's the simple part. If you type the number 10 in the box labeled horizontal and vertical before you hit insert you will be inserting a space between the text and picture on all four sides. The larger the number the more white space around the picture - it all depends on your preference. Yes, you can add a border - try various numbers to change its' size

Great advice! I had never played with the other boxes when I put in the images.

Thanks for the tips. Have been creating printed materials for awhile. The learning curve was interesting at best. Everything helps!

Good reminder and good lesson.  It took me a while to figure that out when I started.

Great job here, Karen.  It is that simple and it looks so much nicer.  I use 5 sometimes in the boxes and that still separates it pretty well.

Thomas in #84:  I think it is awesome that you have figured out a way to get your picture into your first batch of comments here on Active Rain.  You found a problem (not having the picture put there by Active Rain until you hit 10,000 points)... and you figured out how to get it done, anyways.  Good for you.

Karen... once again... what a great tutorial.  Very well done.

Karen, Great advice to help "clean up our look" on our blogs! It is cool that you can add a border right there too! Like you said so unnecessary to use other editing tools! Nicely done ... Pamela

Good tip.  The thing about technology is that there is no manual, just people helping people. And people appreciate it, too.

Karen - thank you for these great tips.  I always wondered how to get the pics separate.  AR is just like youtube - there's a blog for everything.  I love it!
