Ok, this time (when including a photo in the post) I tried saving the image to the post first, saving and exiting, and then returning to place the text below the html with my style=float and the alignright tag edited in there.
Let’s see what happens.
Update: Yay! It worked. It’s be nice to see picture placement options in the next version, but this is a decent work around.
I’ve also noticed a few bugs. The buttons in the app don’t ‘always’ show up. For example when editing the title of a post, the save icon doesn’t appear. I had to click within the body text before it would show.
I’m taking Wordpress’ new blogging tool for the iPhone out for a test drive right now. My first impression is that it is an incredibly easy application to setup and use as a platform for creating new posts on your Wordpress version 2.5 or higher.
Setting up the software was as easy as logging into your blog and after that the app loads up to 50 of your most recent posts.
It took less than 5 minutes to download this (over Edge), and write this post. Highly recommended.
Oh yeah, it’s free.
Update: Regarding uploaded image placement: HTML will pop up on your iPhone after the post has been saved, you exit the post, and then when you return to the text portion of the post. At that point you can embed some HTML tags to say, center the picture you uploaded (which I obviously can’t do). Also…can you say, ‘copy and paste’?
Update 2: I’m gonna throw some text down here, otherwise the image runs over the next post.
Update 3: Wow, it still does. Need to fix that.
Apparently the image HTML needs to be in the post before the text starts.
It’d be really nice to have copy and paste right now.
Having a bad day at work?
Can’t stand your co-workers?
Check out this video and you won’t feel too bad about your current office situation.
Can you blame him though? Working in a room full of cubicles would make the sanest person goes mental.
Here’s another version taken by somebody’s cellphone with audio.
Meet Conchita, a 3-week-old white-naped mangabey monkey who resides in London Zoo.
Conchita is being hand-reared while her mom recovers from a cesarean. Given a teddy bear by the zoo keepers so she’s not missing out on motherly love, Conchita gets attached to the teddy bear, probably due to thinking it’s her mom.
Hi, I’m Conchita. I like my mum and sucking my thumb.
For about a month now, this picture from the official White House website has been circulating on the internet. The picture is from Dick Cheney’s “Outdoors” gallery, and supposedly was taken when the vice president spent “an afternoon fly-fishing on the Snake River in Idaho”.
The big fuss was all about the reflections on his sunglasses, which seems to be a naked woman (and Dick seemed to be extremely happy to see what he was looking at).
Now with the enhanced magnification of the picture, we can finally see what was exactly there.
Desmond and Sayid encountered Michael on the freighter. Under Sayid’s deadlock hold Michael was forced to tell his side of the story after leaving the island. That brought us the longest uninterrupted flash back in Lost history.
*Whoooosh*
After getting back to New York City, Michael didn’t waste much time before trying to end himself. But the island wouldn’t let him die (whatever THAT means), and he woke up in a hospital.
The indestructible Michael then went to see his Waaaaaaaalt after leaving the hospital. Unfortunate for Michael, Waaaaaaaalt was under the supervision of Michael’s mom, and he had to perform an impossible task in order to see his own son.
It was Friday, October 15, 1999. Nicholas White was 34 years old at that time, working late in his office.
He decided to take a cigarette break, told a colleague he’d be right back, and headed out. After he’s done smoking, he went back to the lobby at 11 p.m. and took the express elevator, car 30, to the 43rd floor where his office located. The express elevator was supposed to make no stops below the 39th floor.
It would be 41 hours later, at 4 p.m. Sunday, when he stepped out of that elevator car.
So much for the “express” aspect of it.
In the April 21st issue of The New Yorker, Nick Paumgarten wrote an incredible article on elevators titled “Up and Then Down - The Lives of Elevators“, which includes the history and evolution of elevators over the years, and some stories involved elevators.
The main story in the article is that of White being trapped in the elevator for 41 hours.
His whole ordeal was captured on the security camera. Check out the video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry
A mother in desperate need of a kidney transplant in England was denied her daughters organ.
Rachel Leake’s 21 year old organ donor daughter, Laura Ashworth, suffered a fatal asthma attack and after she died her organs were given to three strangers.
Seems as if the Brits don’t condone having children for the purpose of organ farming.
If you’re a gas station attendant, and there are so many cars waiting to get fuel from your station it is causing a traffic jam, everyone is buying only premium fuel, and people are being suspiciously oblivious to the pump across the street that has premium for a few pennies less, would you:
A) wonder what the hell was going on (i.e. Think/Be conscious), or
B) do nothing for 10 hours while people fill up their SUVs with $0.35 per gallon gas?
The author of the article goes on to say the last time gas was close to that price was in 1972 when it was 36 cents per gallon, which adjusted for inflation would be $1.86. I recall less than 10 years ago, fuel at AM/PM in Pasco, WA was under a buck…something like $0.95 per gallon. Deinflate that, and it seems as if fuel was cheaper 10 years ago than it was 36 years ago. Is that right? Sure, Pasco ain’t no Big Apple, but those were the good years - back when we didn’t have a complete idiot as president Clinton was prez.
