Yahoo! News Video Only Stories Are Annoying!

I normally like to use Yahoo!  I honestly prefer Yahoo! over G for my homepage, though I typically use G for searching.  Yahoo! is starting to become annoying however, as they are posting news stories that are video only, which I am unable to view at work.  I would like to see a text version of these, or don’t show them at all.  This really is annoying Yahoo!  Also, please stop posting the stupid “7 recipes” random blog posts, and the top x lists of things that someone just threw together.  I can honestly not believe you post some of that crap.  I write posts better than those, and I don’t see my stuff on the Yahoo! homepage, so I can only come to the conclusion that someone is “helping” someone else out for some reason.  So Yahoo! stop with the BS news stories, show text link alternatives to the video ones, and don’t get taken over by Microsoft!

How To Put Text Beside A Picture With HTML,CSS

What you are probably looking for is the float property.

You can use float:left; or float:right; (there are other options as well, but these are most common).

you would do something like this <img src=”image path” style=”float:left; padding:5px; border:0px;” />

This will allow text or anything else to be next to the image.  The padding allows a little room between the text and image, and setting the border to 0px means don’t show a border. (There is often a blue default border when using the img as a link).

How Do I take a picture of a website to save on my computer?

The correct term for this is a “screen shot”.  There are a couple of keyboard shortcuts that will allow you to do this, but you will also need some type of graphics editing program, paint, ms word, or something similiar.

The keyboard commands are ALT + Print Screen,  CTRL + Print Screen.  One gets just the active window, the other gets everything on the visible screen.

Once you press one of these keyboard commands, the image will be in your clipboard.  You need to then open up image processing software (paint, photoshop, etc),  and PASTE what is in memory onto a blank document.

That’s all there is to it!
