Have you heard of STCFX I noticed that they have a similar theme on that site.

Jake,

Would you mind quantifying as to why it is a hack?

Clearing the float with clear:both is not at all a solution – it’s an ugly hack that doesn’t address the question properly. I’d love to know what others are doing for this issue (because it IS an issue).

The CSS clear Property should come in handy in this situation. Using the “clear: both;” at the beginning of each post will clear the float and stop the overflow from the previous post. Although it would mean some empty space on the side of the photo, it is a lot more readable to have a clear separation of the post anyway.

So how do you solve the problem of tall images in short posts extending into the next post?

Ehab,

It may be unfair for me to generalized like I did in the post, but take a look at any theme browser and do a count on how many theme does not handle photos and how many does handle them. You’ll get what I’m talking about.

I have never question if there is a theme out there that have good amount of markup for most blogging needs. I’m just sadly disappointed at the majority.

What are you on about mate ?

You probably came across a bad batch of themes from somewhere. Check out Copyblogger(theme) if you want to get astound by the amount of markup it provides for your blogging needs.
