This is a simple tutorial on adding light effective drop shadow borders to images.

Drop shadows make an image or photo stand out on a page making it seem like it has a little weight behind it.

Borders are easy to apply to any image using the border attribute but using more CSS can produce a good visual result without the use of additional images.

This effect can be applied site wide on just the ‘img’ tag if needed.

Just a tiny little announcement to say I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.0 from 2.3.3 which, so far, was completely painless.

There was a few “oh no… ftp dropping connection? no no not good!” moments but most of the time it behaved thanks to FileZilla’s handy “failed transfer box”. This is going to be brief as I completely missed the beta and haven’t had a chance to look around yet but it looks ‘nice’ (short of a better word) so far.

However, after just writing that and trying to add a link my ‘insert link’ box is just blank. Not good. I’m going to have a play and see what happens…

I am currently working very hard to master WordPress and all that is has to offer.

Keeping everything valid has been one of my main tasks but weeding out those odd closing divs here and there has not been an easy task. However, everything seems to be going well so far and with a little luck/determination/ignoring the xbox I should get things up and running!

Please don’t mind the mess and give me a shout if you spot anything broken or odd. Things will be changing over the next few weeks so bare with me!
