I used this in my blog. I want to increase width of the thumbnail but when I increase, image is streching. How can I correct it?
ReplyDeleteHello Ramachandra! Could you please give me your blog URL?
DeleteYou must increase the both width and height as well and keep the dimensions same. example: width:80px;height:80px
DeleteOk. Thank you for your quick response. But I have used landscape like images which is not square. It will be cropped!!! So any other way? By blog is http://www.shrisutha.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good compliment! Then you should keep the height greater than width.
DeleteExample: width:70px;height:75px
Additionally, you can make your thumbnails rounded by making a little change in css. Find the following code undefinedit can be located in the first line) .PopularPosts li a img{list-style:none;border:none;background:none;outline:none;margin:0;padding:0; . Replace the above mention code by the given snippets. .PopularPosts li a img{list-style:none;border:none;background:none;outline:none;margin:0;padding:0;border-radius:50%;}
Failed to display full image so,I used border-radius:50%. Looks better. Thanks you.
