Wrapping text in a widget?
-
Hi,
Could someone help me out by looking at my blog http://executivecoachingguru.com and telling me what I am doing wrong with the text widget with the books in it.
I seem to have got the first one right, but the second book is not aligned.
Help for what is no doubt me being adft would be apprecated.
PS: Is there an idiots guide to putting books in a text widget anywhere?
Cheers!

And also why when I put the cursor over the book there is no alt text?? It’s all a mystery!

It’s difficult for me to explain what goes wrong; it has to do with the fact that, for the text widget, the sequence of image-text-image-text is in essence one continuous text. But a) your sidebar is too narrow, and b) I don’t think it looks good if the font size of the widget text is identical to that of the main content. So I think it would be better if the widget texts are below the images and in smaller size. Try this and see if you like it:

Your image HTML doesn’t have any alt text assigned. You need to add it.
The first image has a white space as part of the image on both sides, the other image does not. You can sort of fix it by adding “vspace=10px” or something similar (without the quote marks)

Thank you both so much!
Panaghiotisadam I added your text and it works really well. Fab!
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this.
