Sorry for the previous posts. I’ll try to see how I can import tham from SF database in the coming […]

Post thumb revisited: Relative paths for images in posts

Though it’s not a good practice to use relative paths when inserting an image in a post, it may also be convenient as it can make the content independant from the host.
However, relative paths are very limited in WP posts.
Image address: host/image relative path.
Here, host would be: http://www.alakhnor.com
Absolute path: http://www.alakhnor.com/post-thumb/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/chain.jpg

Relative path: /post-thumb/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/chain.jpg

wordTube icon

Those who went through this site have seen a wordtube icon in the middle of the top banner. As you’ve seen, it opens on a player which lets you choose among all the wordtube playlist.
I’m wondering if this is something worth a plugin..
