widget image expanded
-
Hi. I checked my blog yesterday on firefox and IE9. For years, my Brochure widget was fine, and I didn’t change it. Since yesterday, the image is enormous – what happened? How can i get it to be the correct ~3/4″ size again? Thank you! (the brochure widget was set up with help previously: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/justify-image-in-text-widget?replies=14#post-475809)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m not sure if this is related to your issue or not. Staff have introduced “infinite scroll” to some themes including MistyLook and will be implementing it on all themes that have a suitable structure for infinite scroll. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/to-infinity?replies=137
Thos who have themes with footer widgets can use a workaround to regain control over how many posts are displayed on the front page of the blog. They simply install an empty text widget into any footer widget area and the number of posts they set to display on the main page for posts in their blog here Settings > Reading will prevail after they have done that.
If you have a theme like MistyLook without footer widgets then you can switch to a theme with footer widgets, so then you will be able to drop an empty text widget into a single footer widget area. Then you can regain control of how many posts display on the front page of the blog and the number you enter on Settings > Reading page will prevail.
For some other theme possibilities see here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/of-posts-displayed-on-front-page?replies=21#post-842402

This seems complicated. I may want to change to twenty eleven, but in the preview it looks like i’ll lose my widgets.
Until I figure this all out, I think I’d like to change the widget in mistylook – I’ll just need a little help. I think I want to remove the link from the image, and add the link to the text (if it’s not already there). can you help me with the html code? Many thanks, as always!

ok – i actually went ahead and switched to twenty eleven, lost all my widgets and header, background, etc. (disappointing!). as i try to put info back in – the display keeps reverting to a basic white background with letters – is it me?
-
i just checked – this problem is only in IE9 – it works well in firefox. yet many users use IE9 – so it needs to function well there too – is this a wordpress problem?
-
another problem – in mistylook, i had originally set up a 2-column table in a widget, with the image on left side, and text on the rigth. now, in twenty eleven, the text is on the bottom right (in firefox). how can i fix this?
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img class=”alignleft” style=”border:0;” src=”http://greenpetburialsociety.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/brochureimg.jpg” alt=”What will you do with your pet’s body?” width=”50″ />
</td>
<td valign=”top”>

Hello again,
This is may take on things. I believe Staff are not answering these threads because they are very hard at work implementing “infite scroll” on our themes. This in some cases is causing issues like you are experiencing. Staff have closed support until Monday. My best advice is to back away from your blog now and wait until Monday. -

re: HTML table code is not working in Twenty Eleven
What’s happening is that some themes are HTML5 and CSS3 and the old HTML tables codes have been deprecated. You need inline CSS instead, that is, properties and values in the style attribute. Example here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-change-table-width?replies=4Please read what panaghiotisadam says in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tables-dont-do-it?replies=25

Re “losing” widgets: When you switch from a theme to a similarly designed theme, the widgets stay in place. When you switch to a differently designed one, they may move to Inactive, and you just drag them back to Sidebar.
Re the image widget: Explorer has difficulty understanding (among other things) image resizing, especially if you link to an image hosted elsewhere. You should make a copy of the image, scale it down in an image editing application to the right width for your sidebar,* upload that copy to your blog via Media > Add New, copy the resulting file URL, use that URL in the widget.
