Thanks for the suggestions Nikolay and gestroud. Sounds like they are part of the same project. I wonder what people think of this feature. I personally am somewhere between annoyance and usefulness.
I absolutely hate the NYT double click pop-ups. I’m one of those people who constantly clicks around while I’m reading, and it’s gotten to the point where I try to find the article from someone else first.
Thanks for the tip on the image centering. I’ve wondered what the purpose was for the added classes.
About that answer links “feature,” I hate that sort of thing. I click on the page for a variety of reasons. If I wanted to look something up I would do it all by myself.
I know the image alignment doesn’t work right on my theme, but I just manually type tell the image where to float. I’ll have to try the plugin. Worked fine in 2.5

I just wish the Insert Image dialog is brought back. Is there any tips on how to disable the automatic posting of photo info below images?
Thanks for the image aligning tip.
ajua, I did a quick search and according to this blog, you need to add the following to your theme’s functions file:
function no_caption($deprecated, $attr, $content) { return $content; };
add_filter(’img_caption_shortcode’, ‘no_caption’, 10, 3);
I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m adding it now.
@ajua, you can also hardcode it inside wp-config.php
define('CAPTIONS_OFF',1);
The Google Custom Search tutorial is very well explained, thanks for sharing it ; )

Great tip the one about image alignment
With all the other native image problems in wordpress 2.5 there were a lot of really good image plugins that took care of the floating image issues.

I for one am glad to see these tips. I am so tired of stumbling through the WP forum.
Thanks!
