Pictures inline

I’ve been kicking around in my head the question of whether I should link to listener’s pictures on new browser pages (a la the post for episode 81 where every picture is linked), or display them inline (a la the pics from Michael Baxley in ep 80, or the panning shots from Bob Fischer).

I’m actually leaning toward displaying them inline.

I think it’s more immediate. You don’t have to click the links to see the pictures. They’re just… THERE! And given the high quality of images sent in by SI listeners, it makes for a visually interesting page.

So, with all that in mind… one small request.

When you submit shots to either Shelton or myself via e-mail,  would you be so good as to resize your images so that they are no more than 700 pixels wide (height isn’t an issue, but width is), and set the resolution to 72dpi?

If you don’t or can’t, that’s ok. I’ll do it for you. But it would just save me a little bit of time if any listener-submitted images were already scaled accordingly.

Thanks heaps!

    Can you make some room under that rock for me Bruce!?

    Having subscribed to your Podcast yesterday, I listened to episode 81 this morning, and realized what you confirmed above. Had the listener accredited the shots to me in their email, all I needed was the link changing on your page as well to make this obvious. (Not trying to wriggle out of this, but I did ask if this was the case in my original post, as I hadn’t listened to the audio.)

    If you want to add the photos back to avoid confusing your listeners any more, as long as the caption makes it obvious they’re mine, sent by Tzee Yoong, I’m not only fine with it, I’d be happy for the free publicity! 😀

    Anyway, had I also listened, before requesting them to be removed, it all could have been avoided, so shufty over a little Bruce.
