How to Center Images

[admin]

It is something that has been driving a few writers crazy recently, so here is how to make sure your images stay central in your articles if you wish.

Sometimes they go there and stay as you want, but if once you have published they don't behave, head back and edit the article.

In the blogsFC editor, switch from Visual to HTML mode, then find the image and put the following around the code for it:

Code: Select all

<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://website.com/image.jpg" alt="" />
Basic Caption text</div>

for those using more advanced captions you should still be able to put the div tags around whatever you are using and it should work.

Any questions or problems implementing it, let me know

tried this 20 times for my blogs but the images always come out to the left.

Its a pity.

On the edit post page everything looks as I want it to be but as soon as I hit update it resorts to type

I may be making some basic mistake,its very frustrating.

You will have to take off the captions you have been adding to the image, that doesn't help when centering, then just write what you want to go under, under it.

Then in visual mode, find the image, then click the center button in the console, or use Alt+Shift+C

Immediately click update, return to your post to check it worked and at the same time close the editor.

If you go back to the editor again, it trys to be clever and format the picture alignment again, this is where it goes wrong and you would have to go in to html mode, manually remove the extra formatting and then repeat as above.

I changed your latest Mexico blog post and the above worked, so hopefully it will for you next time.

The trick is to tell the image to be centered as the last thing you do.
