@ panaghiotisadam: Thank you so much for being such a kind and helpful person. But I’ve already posted and it looks OK with the link at the end of my post.

I never thought it would be a science to make a click-able link. :-)

I thank you for your offer but I think that all this effort should be used for a better purpose.

In this case I’ll just get by with a less ambitious blogging method.

:-D)))

panos,

Not at all, I thought of putting the code just in case universalgeni was missing something (posting code would help). It does work for me…

You’re welcome.

Small correction: making a clickable link is no science; what’s a bit of a science is making a link that’s part of an image caption that’s properly aligned below the image and the whole is enclosed in a frame and aligned the way you like in relation to the rest of the post text…

Hahaha! Now, that’s what I call a scentific explanation, panaghiotisadam! This thread is priceless! Big grin from me here!

You guys are so sophisticated. This is how a non-techy like me does it.
<table>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
</tr>
</table>

In row 1 cell 1 I upload the image
In row 2 cell 1 I enter the anchor text for the caption and link it to the URL

Done!

NB: You new “My Cabin” link is exactly what I had in mind, panaghiotisadam! Wikipedias entry for that county, mountain, river, lake or whatever could have been under your “My Cabin” text.

Then if you had a link under the photo also that link could take the reader to a map showing the area or something else.

I think I can manage TT’s version. But I must admit that the tech men inhere impressed me!

@tt: That will give caption next to image, not below it. You mean:
```
<table>
<tr><td>IMAGE CODE</td></tr>
<tr><td>CAPTION</td></tr>
</table>
```
That’s ok as long as you need no text wrap and no border. My version is meant to simulate the WP caption look (you know, grey frame and all).

@universalgeni: “My Cabin” isn’t my cabin, it’s devblog’s!

Sorry, to both of you! It must be the lack of tech brain here. Can’t keep track of two things at the same time without getting them mixed up! :-)))

@ devblog: it couldn’t be a big issue for Staff to implement that feature. The “My Cabin” test post shows exactly what the possibilities are. The caption function could do with a little development, I think.

This thread should be moved to the idea forum…
