FAlbum & The Custom Theme
A couple weeks ago I got myself a Flickr account and have been posting all my photos up there. I then added the FAlbum plugin to my blog so that the photos would be viewable while keeping the same theme. There was of course some CSS issue with the layout of FAlbum and my theme. Obviously I’m using a “Left Colum” design where all navigation/links/polls/etc are on the left and all the content is on the right. This type of design is widely used, as is the “Right Column” but FAlbum didn’t integrate too well with it. FAlbum uses Float: left; on all the thumbnails to place as many thumbnails on one “row” as possible. This poses a big problem since I too am using Float: left; for the navigation column. The long and short of it is when you do a clear: left; or clear: both; it clears the left column too. My photo album is up and running however it doesn’t look at good as I’d like. I’ll be working on a “Right-Colum” design to see if that helps.
