Hi Stephen,
We were very conscious of not affecting the layout of all your past
blogs with these photos changes as you've put so much work into them. Going forward, the way you handle the photos in the new
blogs you create will be different to before (simpler) but for the time being the look of the edit page is the same, just the way the system knows how to handle the images has changed.
TIP: previously the system would automate 3 images in a line and if they weren't all the same orientation (landscape/portrait) it would upset the text. Now, you can put in any number of photos from 1 -5 per line and the photos will auto resize to fill the space. The photos can be any orientation (a mix of landscape & portrait). However - all photos will crop in the blog output but when tapped to view fullscreen will be as original. Just like Instagram etc. We've removed the drag resize tool from the front end so you'll notice these differences as I know you used that a lot.
So one photo = full width. Two photos on a line = 50% width each side by side perfectly and so on up to 5 photos per line. You can press Enter to create a new line and add a whole batch of photos using the line breaks to determine the size your images will appear based on number of images per line.
There are two technical tricks I used in
mine using html code but we intend to make templates to make it easy for people to select heading styles and other photo layouts instead of having to write code! But that's for later and depends if people use the
Blogs enough to make it worthwhile. Let me know if you want to know the code for headings or other image layouts in the meantime as I know you're the most likely person to want to publish
Blogs and have a good go at it.
PS where are you heading next?
