Can you post the CSS?

Ok, so for the most part, the basic backend is done on the site, but now i'm getting into all those stupid little nitpicky last minute fixes that are definitely going to drive me insane.

problemo numero uno:

My image/text alignment. I initially had my images set to float so the text would be all pretty and lovely and wrap around it nicely. The problem with this is that my client has now decided they want to post big ass pictures on the front page as opposed to the initial icons I thought we were going with. So now if they post an image with text and the image is taller than the text, the image will break the frame of the post below it, effectively screwing everything up.

I tried simply removing the float css, and while that works, I have a feel they're going to come back and tell me they want a solution that allows the text to still wrap around the image as opposed to image then text below it. Here are some pictures to illustrate what I mean:



Text and image are aligned properly, but the css is causing the picture to be a dirty floating douchebag.


the css is no longer making the image a dirty floating douchebag, but this design is just bad.

Is what I want to happen even possible? Or should I tell them they're just going to have to center the image or something.

Problem Number 2

Image galleries inside individual posts. I'm currently using this bad boy: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/picturesurf-gallery/ , but its not quite as customizable or friendly as I'd like it to be. Does anyone have any image galleries they would recommend that are very easy to use and customizable?

I think something like this: http://thesuperficial.com/2009/10/lindsay_lohans_blurry_nipples.php would be exactly what they want. Sorry about Lilo's blurry nipples.


Thanks dudes.

So I thought everything was up and running fine, I had even checked the site on ie last weekend, but my client just emailed me saying there is a problem with the posts formatting on ie7 and ie8 and how quickly the page is loading. I'd be much obliged if someone could take a look and tell me whats happening / perhaps what needs fixing? I'm thinking its a css problem, but its really hard to troubleshoot something you can't even look at.

Thanks guys.

I think i fixed it in some downtime at work on the Q/A PC, and I'm pretty sure the horrific load times are due to my clients uploading ridiculously large images.   hi5

Most likely. I checked the site out (tho I run Firefox so I don't know about the tables or anything) and its a pretty graphic rich site they've got goin on there. Lots o' shit to look at and load. That is probably why it is taking so long for it to load. Dum dums.
