Welcome to the new, improved Ebriel Blog. Move over Blogspot, hello WordPress! It’s been weeks since I’ve been able to post online, an eternity in Internet-time.
I’ve changed over for two reasons:
1. Blogspot doesn’t work in China (where I am now)
and
2. WordPress offers much more flexibility with its design & is easier to integrate with my website.
If you’re new to Travel-Artist, here’s the older version of this blog, with 6 years (?!) of my Asian travels archived.
More stories, photos, and links coming soon, from Lijiang, China. This is a charming town saturated with tourists, as seasoned travellers will say. But the ‘real’ Lijiang Old Town’s still going strong at its edges, where you’ll see carpenters working on traditional Naxi window designs, local restaurants with tasty meals for 3 yuan or less (under US$.50), and plenty of smiles, too.

Heya! One of the features that you will need to play with is that sometimes the styling on WP and the column width “squishes” photos. You can go into the editor for the post and “scale” the photo down (like 90%, 80%, etc) so that when it’s in the main page view, it doesn’t distort. There’s a little icon when you hover over the picture in the editor that should let you do that.
If when you customize the stylesheets for your blog you have a wider column, this will cease to be an issue, but for now, that’s the fastest way around it rather than re-sizing the pictures outside of the blog.
