Blogs: Stop Text From Crowding Your Newsletter Images

by Bruce Simmons on November 1, 2009

I’ve noticed that my FeedBurner Email subscriptions started having an interesting issue with the images.

The image would be the left justified item in the feed and then your article bleeds right off the lower right corner of the image.

When I insert an image in a post, the post usually looks pretty good until it goes out in email.

Something I’ve found that that works to fix that, at least for me, is once I insert an image into my article, even if it looks good, I place the cursor at the front of that first sentence and hit return.

When I hit return it doesn’t look like anything changes or happens.  But apparently it adds a control return that helps my newsletters look better.

Side Note:

You’re probably going “Huh?  Dude, you don’t add images very much around here at Stuff on Brusimm (SoB)!”

That’s true… for the moment.  I work on about 5 sites and have had a bit of experience experimenting with this and discovered this fix.

Right now the servers I’m on have permission issues because of how we’ve had to control some traffic from another site on this server.  New servers are lined up and ready to go into action for my site and once I’m over there, you’ll see more images.  (I’m super bored with mostly all text so I am looking forward to the new server.  It’s just a matter of when my cohort finds the time to break away from his family to go install the beast in the rack we have in the server farm host!)
