 * Question on images in WP:
 * Can the image automatically be resized to neatly fit the width of the theme? 
   I have some users who have no clue about photo dimensions or reducing them.

 * Then you have to teach them…
    I don’t know of any “automatic” image resizing.
   It always has to be done BEFORE uploading the image.

 * The title of my Blog is What’s It All About, Jack? You can find it at [http://www.whatsitallaboutjack.com](http://www.whatsitallaboutjack.com).
   I would like to put small images of the 2 blog authors On the left and right 
   of the title in the header.

 * I beg to differ – I don’t know how it’s done or what tag is used to control it,
   but somehow the wordpress default theme “resizes” images that are wider than 
   the text column. Maybe it’s taking the inefficient route of resizing in the browser
   by passing the width= parameter inside the img tag?
 * When I use the default theme with my blog (daverea.com) it shows the images cleanly
   the same width as the text column. Using other themes, if the image’s pixel dimensions
   are wider than the text column, the image spills underneath the menus on the 
   right side.
 * So it is possible, we just need to figure out how it’s done.

 * As a follow-up to my last post, upon looking a little closer at the “resized”
   images that come through with the default theme, I’m noticing some “jaggies” 
   in them that would indicate the image is being brute-force resized by the browser
   in response to a width= parameter inside an img tag.
 * How to get a theme to follow that behavior and include a width= forcing parameter
   is still beyond me, but I think that gets us a little closer…

 * The default theme does this with css.
 * p img {
    padding: 0; max-width: 100%; }
