Sick of images being to large for the content area?

Have you ever uploaded an image that might have been a tad bigger than the width of your content area? I know I have! So here is a little CSS fix to handle these situations.

Resize those large images using CSS

.post img {
 max-width: 600px;
 height: auto;
 }

That’s it, really simple huh. Just make sure that you change the .post to the correct body class(which starts with a “.“) or body ID(which starts with a “#“).

Would you like a quick explanation?
The CSS is just telling any image inside the class of .post to not be more than 600px wide. By the way make sure you change it to fit the dimension of your content width. And the height attribute is set to auto to automatically change the height to match the new width. 🙂
