Sidebar blocks embedded image
-
I need help embedding a comic strip on a page in my blog. I got permission from the author/artist, and on his site he has a code for embedding his work into a blog. I’ve embedded the same image into emails with no problem. But when I created a page on my blog just for this, and then embedded the strip, the sidebar on my page blocked half the strip. I made the strip smaller, but then it was too small to read the text, and there is a lot of text. Does anyone have any advice? I deleted the page, because the strip was unreadable, but here’s my blog addess if this will help:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m new, but I don’t think this is a support question. – Wendy -
I don’t think there’s much you can do to include it on a page at full size; it sounds like the size of the image is bigger than the maximum allowed by your template, which is the problem.

If you use a caption to tell people to click to see it enlarged, then anyone who wants to see it will still be able to.

Thank you cjwriter, that sounds like a good idea. I’ll try and figure out how to do that. Thanks for your help. – W

The link shouldn’t be too hard. Just upload the picture to somewhere like Flickr, and then in WP’s visual editor click the picture icon (it’s the one with a tree). Give it the Flickr link to your image, and the image will appear. Select the image, click the link icon in the editor, and give it the Flickr link again… and you’re done. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. :)

Excellent. This I can do. Thank you so much! I was just at your blog, but I’m emailing you about that —
