Children's Book Blog Tour random header image

HTML Tip ~ Space Around Pictures

March 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

A quick post because I’ve been visiting several kit lit book review sites, adding blogs to my blog roll on All About Children’s Books and I’ve noticed lots of posts with wonderful pictures in them.  Picture book lovers are great for putting pictures in their posts.

But I often see pictures with no vertical or horizontal space around them:

Blah, blah, blah…We spent about 24 hours in number two slot, and another day shuffling between two and three. Today we’re still showing on the page in the twelfth spot.swallows -- fitzmauriceDoesn’t Groovy just look like she’s on top of the world in that shot? Who cares that she wasn’t number one. Groovy knows the recognition will come when the time is right just as the swallows always come when the time is right.

But what I liked best about this tour was the amount of energy so many of you had. We had some great three-day posters, and even the one-day bloggers seemed to really like the book instead of just posting because they had to.

I’m glad because this book was lovingly crafted and it delivers on its promises.I’m happy to see at Amazon that it’s picking up a lot of positive reviews. If any of you want to copy and paste your reviews over at Amazon, btw, that’s a good way to help authors you like and it’s also a good way to attract people to your blog. You can set up a profile where you give your web page address. Then when people like your reviews they can click on you to find more of your stuff.

Here’s a picture with a little vspace and hspace:

If you want to have a little space between your picture and you text:

You add hspace=”15″ vspace=”15″ into your html. Hspace is for horizontal space and vspace is for vertical space and you can change 15 to whatever you want.

The code above looks like this:

<img src=”http://kidzbookbuzz.com/pictures/Swallows_c.jpg” alt=”swallows — fitzmaurice” hspace=”15″ vspace=”15″ width=”275″ height=”400″ align=”left” />

Easy as pie and I think it makes the post look less crowded.
