Mark posted a while back (link) a quicktags improvement that included the ability to have drop shadows around your image. Visit that link to get the code and follow the instructions for adapting your current setup. I’ve adapted it so that the image can now be left or right aligned with text wrapping, and I’m assuming that you have added the CSS from that link to your ‘wp-layout.css’. Add the following to your wp-layout.css; .img-shadow1 { clear: both; float:right; background: url(images/shadowAlpha.png) no-repeat bottom right !important; background: url(images/shadow.gif) no-repeat bottom right; margin: 20px 0 0 17px !important; margin: 20px 0 0 8px; } .img-shadow1 img { display: block; position: relative; background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #a9a9a9; margin: -6px 6px 6px -6px; padding: 4px; } div.clearer { clear: left; line-height: 0; height: 0; } The instruction <div class=”img-shadow”> will produce a left aligned image.

[EDIT] This has been updated with a fix for Mozilla where the textarea used to jump to the top on addition of a tag. The updated script is in the same file, and some instructions have been added.

Some of the features added include: Automatic CSS dropshadows for images Automatic CSS dropshadows for text Capitalization (can be used for many purposes) Small size and large sized text Left or right floating pictures and text etc. You can see an example of the stuff this is capable of here: http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/2003/5/24/this-is-another-test/ To install this hack, download this file. Unzip the contents on your computer. Copy the images directory to the root of your WordPress folder. Rename quicktags.txt (in the zip) as quicktags.js. […]

I modified an Erfurt Wiki script to work with WordPress and other php based webpages. The installation is really really simple and the wiki seems to work well for me. You can see it at work here: http://mindfulmusings.net/weblog/aboutme.php I have created a static about me page with this and plan to use it in the future for “free-for-all” blogging from time to time. I might find other uses for it as well. All the instructions and the hack files can be downloaded here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/wikihack.zip Please post bugs and suggestions here.
