Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started.
On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. In addition, they also get the options of Thumbnail, Medium, Large & Fullsize.
The image above happens to be centered.
The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.
As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!
And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.
The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.
And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.
In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.
And just when you thought we were done, we’re going to do them all over again with captions!
Look at 580×300 getting some caption love.
The image above happens to be centered. The caption also has a link in it, just to see if it does anything funky.
Itty-bitty caption.

Feels good to be right all the time.

This seems like a cool looking WordPress theme for creating a video based website, already planning to use it in a website i am creating which will have videos of all my movies! Oops, i just revealved it. My website was supposed to be a secret until its launched.
Along with the video website a blog with this theme will be awesome too. In my opinion its simple but it has all the necessary elements you will need if you are seriously planning to start a blog which has high conversion rate. With the strategically placed advertisements i can monetize my website too!
Yay, tell me you are starting a video blog. I will be a daily visitor :)
Other great thing is you are not only limited to YouTube, you can embed videos from most of the popular video sharing websites such as Vimeo, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, Blip.tv, Zulu, etc. And you dont even need to struggle with finding the code to embed videos, you can simply use URL of the video to embed it.
I am more happy with the customization options given in this theme, i can change colors and fonts which matches my brand identity. I can also set header and background images if i want to and beauty here is all of this can be done from theme options with a few clicks.
And it does not end here if i decide to change something by writing my own CSS they have given a custom.css editor where i can put my code and they will save it into the database so i will not have to worry about losing my changes when i update the theme.
Did you notice different sidebars on different pages? With that option i can have right content at right place, I will be gutted if i was forced to display blog categories on Video detail page. I must say the small but important things were taken cared of nicely in this theme.
Yes, different sidebars on different pages is sensible. But did you notice this comment form below? It lets me enter my comment first and then the formalities like asking my name, email address, etc comes. It sound like a small thing but see how it affects while some visitor comes to comment on your website.
