What happened to the Socialvibe Widget? (Thickbox)

  Sorry for being so thickheaded.

  When you insert an image in a post or page the Image Uploader gives you 3 options for the Link URL, None, Image URL or Attachment Post URL. Select the last one to have the image open in a separate page that uses your theme template. You only can set that option easily after you’ve uploaded the image.

  The Gallery shortcode can be modified in the Text Editor to show only the image you wish like this [gallery include="1273"]
  where 1273 is the image ID number. The default size is thumbnail, but you can again modify the shortcode to get a medium-sized image like this
  [gallery include="1273" size="medium"]
  The difficulty comes when you want that image to appear on the right rather than the default left, and wrap text around it. It requires additional HTML and a little inline CSS to do so.

  Thanks for the tip. What exactly would I need to do to make a given gallery to align to the right?

  Probably not a question I should be trying to answer in the middle of the night (here), so hopefully I can request assistance from a fellow forum volunteer…

  *sigh* And of course not five seconds after I post that I alter my search terms and figure out that a div tag seems to do the trick. I really wish I could edit these…

  Though if anyone reads this, I am still trying to figure out how to get the gallery to play nice with the captions function for inserting images.

  And nevermind. Apparently when I was tying around with fixing my post it was undoing changing the caption shortcode back into the formatting that the shortcode creates. When I reloaded the page I was trying to fix I found the shortcode for the caption was back which fixed the formatting snafu.

  Maybe this will also help http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/formatting-text-pt-1/

  I’d just be happy if there was a preview feature. Being able to edit posts in the forums has historically proven to be a really bad idea. :)

  Cheers!
