Hey folks!
I am really struggling with the default blog template for our store (we use Wide Photos currently).
Whenever I add an image, it is extremely clunky and hard to get the image in the place that I actually want it. Every time I move or resize the image, I have to reformat the image again (setting the alignment, text wrapping and borders) and very often, part of the reformatting won’t take so I have to try three or more times to get it to do what I want.
I need our blog to have lots of images - and can’t imagine fighting this template every time I want to blog.
So… it looks like I need to create a custom template, but I really want to know what the limitations of the blog coding are before I try and get waaaaaaay too frustrated trying to make it do something it’s never going to do.
I see from reading other community posts that adding captions to blog images is problematic.
Options are to use the formated text / titles spaced under the image… but seeing how difficult it is to get an image in the right place to visually look great, that idea sounds like a migraine inducer.
Someone asked if it’s possible to automatically set up images with captions using a class (not entirely sure what that means but I understand that “class” is a coding thing) .
That query was answered saying no - it’s not possible.
Sooooo…
Does anyone have any advice or can you show me examples of what a custom blog template can look like? I would love to know if it is possible to create a template that’s easier to add images to!!!
