Image sizes - presentation and absolute
  • Forgive me if I cannot explain this clearly - I'll do my best, though:

    I'm using Blogger. I present my pictures, usually four to a post, in a 2x2 table.
    The pictures I post/upload are pictures I have exported from iPhoto, setting 850 as the widest size (iPhoto asks, this is what I happened to chose way back when I started).
    In the posts, they are shown small and represent a link, so when clicked, they show up, a single picture on one page, bigger - probably? the 850 - whatever unit.

    When I read about MarsEdit, what attracted me was what seemed a simpler way of handling pictures, select from iPhoto directly, rest automatic.

    However, it appears that the size / presentation gets to be involved....

    In Blogger, the code I transfer to the cell has the format
    [a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/x/y/z/n/s1600/F%C3%B8r1maj-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"][img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/x/y/z/n/s320/F%C3%B8r1maj-1.jpg" width="320" /][/a] - I have exchanged what must be specific addresses with x, y , z and n. Hope this is OK for you people to understand.

    -must be a 240x320 'thumbnail'? and the s1600 the 'real size?? or what??

    Anyway, I quess I could figure out what sizes I want, so lets stay with the real issue: Is there a way for me to associate the (four) pictures with each their cell-in-the-table, to pe presented there at a certain size, and be clickable to the real size?

  • Sorry for another disappointing response, but no, MarsEdit doesn't currently have this level of fine-tuning for graphics: it is able to select and size only one image at a time, to be inserted wherever you want in the post. It doesn't have the ability to create multiple sizes (e.g. a thumbnail and full size) at once, and to insert them in a coordinated fashion like this.
  • Good to have that clear for me.
