forum photo thoughts

Good idea, the collage.  May I suggest that anyone using the collage approach limit the number of individual images to four total and two across.  This will minimize the extent of side scrolling required while reading posts and possibly making the collage vertical rather than horizontal if using more than four images. 

...

My point here is that I've often had to save the photo images and insert them manually. I usually size the images to be about 3.5 - 4" max. to save space on the printed page and it is easier for page formatting. Inserting a single image wider than about four would exceed the page width and while setting the page to Landscape is possible, I'd rather. 

Just a thought,

I'll keep this in mind... but in my case... some photos I resize after putting them together (to reduce the file size), others I don't... so I'm not sure that what you're seeing is a result of how many photos are actually in the collage.  Also, and I'm not sure about this, but sometimes the size of the photo I post, vs. how it is displayed here seems to vary... I'm not sure what's causing that.  Anyway, I'll try and size them down a bit, if nothing else.

When you post, you can use an HTLM tag extension to show the picture smaller, but allow for clicking on it to see the real size.  The tag extension is shown below (I added a space after the brace ([) so the HTML code would show.

[ img width=1000] picture link [ /img]

The number (1000 in this case) is the number of pixels. 

Alternatively, you could specify the height instead of the width.
