Images At A Decent Size

Photo: nimby, Canon 5D

nimby, now with bigger images!!

Ok, so no big deal, but it had always bugged me that for a blog centred around photography (mostly), that this blog template was limited to images 400 pixels in their longest dimension. Landscapes were just about viewable, but upright images were too small. I finally decided to do something about it after posting the vacuum cleaner photo the other day. It really just doesn't work.

So then it took me another few days to actually get around to doing it. Now it is done. Sadly, with the way the blogspot works, I still need the usual image displayed too, so you get a big one and a little one of everything now, bonus! Also, as I needed to keep the image within the overall size of the blog, old images may be a little too big, and require scrolling, but images from now on should work much better.

And just in case anyone is interested, blogspot doesn't make the posted images available to you in your template. You need to be a little creative to find it and display it at the original size. If you wanna see how I did it, view the source of this page and the javascript is there for you to steal. There is no JS on these blogspot pages normally, so it is the only JS there.

UPDATE:-
Blimey! The JPG artifacting is pretty terrible. Nothing I can do about that, seems blogspot compresses them way down.
