Photo Captions

I need to place several small (approximately 200 X 200 pixels) photos in a
random pattern on a page.

How can I create captions (some 2 or 3 lines) under each photo?

Re: Photo Captions

Thank you for your reply but I am really a beginner and don't understand code
that well. Is there a way that it can be done in design view?

Re: Photo Captions

One way would be to open the photo in an image processing program, and then
add the "caption" at the bottom of the photo and save it as part of the
photo. Then it goes with the photo, wherever you put it.

Re: Photo Captions

That would be bad for SEO and probably create pixilated text as the
sacrifice of a smaller file size.

Would not recommend this method

Why not create a table and "randomly" place the photos in the cells? You
could put the caption text in the same cell with the photo, or in an
adjoining cell. May not be the way the "purists" would do it, but it would
be easy, I think.

Re: Photo Captions

Yeh, you're probably right that the text would look bad. I didnt take
sufficient note of how small the images were ---

As far as Search Engine Optimization, well that only matters if it matters
in his context. But I agree with you generally.

Re: Photo Captions

Wrap each image and the text you want in a div.

..photocaption {
width:: 210px;
text-align: center;
}

<div class = "photocaption">
img <br />
caption
</div>

You can create the class using new style dialog box. Then select your image
and caption text. Next, in the toolbox rights click on the dir tag and
select "wrap".

Re: Photo Captions


Probably inserting the "two row table per picture" is the best way for you
to go. The first Row for the Picture - the 2nd for the caption.
