    It might help to tell the html up front what the size of the graphic is, so the browser doesn’t have to go look in the .jpg file for that information. If you are writing html code by hand, you would put “width=200 height=150″ inside the “img” tag somewhere (say, after the file name). If you are using an html editor, there is probably a way to do the same thing, in some kind of “properties” box. The dimensions are in “pixels”.

    Hey thanks for the suggestion. Brendan’s going to help figure it out once he has a chance to breathe.

  3. Hey guys. The show was fun. When are you going to post it so I and all the other guests can blog it?

    It’ll be up tomorrow morning. Normally, once we’ve ironed out our production wrinkles, the audio will be posted right after the show. We’re looking forward to seeing how this conversation continues online.

    Katherine, I had the same problem with photos running into the post below. Then a friend tipped me off to some html code to enter after the photo. It may work for your case too:

    (ends the wrapping of photos/text)

    Oops, I zoned out on the fact that the comment-intake process would read that as the html code it was and not leave it in the comment as text. Hmmm. How about this way:

    ["greater than" sign here] br clear=”left” / ["less than" sign here]

    KSF – thank you! This sounds like it could be an easy solution. I’ll give it and bft’s idea a try next week. Brendan had also mentioned that he wanted to tinker with the general formatting (I really don’t know what I’m talking about here) for the posts, which might take care of it.

  8. Thanks Katherine. Look forward to hearing it.

    By the way have you guys heard Dave Winer’s podcast in response to Pilot#1?

    Scroll through to the final third if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing. I’d be interested to hear Chris’ response.

  9. I want to mention how incredibly proud I am of you guys for going to the web first. I have to admit, when you guys called me for Pilot #1, I presumed I wouldn’t hear it until it aired when you guys started on May 30.

    So much media treats the web as a dumping ground, a sort of low-grade infinite file cabinet. And there’s this greedy, grabby mentality that “we’ve gotta have it first” on the medium with the scarcest distribution resources, and then slowly release it on media which have greater, wider distribution resources (like the net).

    I think it’s great that you guys are discarding that tired old notion, and I bet it will lead to interesting and productive effects we can’t even really envision yet.
