bitful

You might have noticed that most of my recent posts have not got a thumbnail image on the left hand side like they used to.

I have decided to scrap that, because:

• it takes me far too long to find an image to use, and it spoils weblog's spontaneity (even if I source them quickly with a query on stock.xchng that returns only copyright-free images, and upload them without leaving WordPress via the ImageManager plugin);
• to the best of my knowledge, the only way to make text wrap around thumbnails when the post is viewed in an RSS reader is to use inline styling, and I am not keen at all on blurring the boundaries between content and presentation;
• they sure look pretty, but more often than not they do not add much to the message.

So bye.
