Having trouble adding image captions to your photos? I know I do, especially if you are using Blogger post editor. I’ve switch to Windows Live Writer, yet still it doesn’t get any better in this department. (with WLW I can do it though, with the right plug-in of course).
Look at the picture, it does come with a caption. Okay, I’m going to show you how you can do just that, a simple image captioning. It will require some HTML coding, but no CSS is involved here. We will use a two-row HMTL table, first row for the image, and the second row for the caption.
Now let’s do this, the steps are as below:
- Add an image the way you would normally do in Blogger post editor.
- Switch to Edit HTML mode.
- Find the code for your image, hint: it’s the
<a onblur blah blah blah"><img blah blah blah;"/></a>
. - Now you want to copy the table code below and paste it just below the image code line in step 3.
1
<
table
style
=
"float: left; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; background-color: YOUR BACKGROUND COLOR HERE; font-style:italic"
><
tbody
>
2
<
tr
><
td
>YOUR IMAGE CODE HERE</
td
></
tr
>
3
<
tr
><
td
align
=
"center"
>YOUR CAPTION TEXT HERE</
td
></
tr
>
4
</
tbody
></
table
>
- After that you want to cut the original code (starting from
<a…
until</a>
) and paste it to replace “YOUR IMAGE CODE HERE”. - Replace “YOUR BACKGROUND COLOR HERE” with a color code.
- You can change the photo alignment to the right by changing the float to
float:right;
. Also change the margin to your liking. - That’s it.
One note though, using this method you need to add the code to each individual photo.
