Toilet fail

This lovely notice on the door of a disabled toilet states that it is to be shared between disabled toilet and baby changing. Now, marks for remembering to think of a disabled toilet at all, and yes it's very common to have to share with nappy changing, BUT this particular event is a special event for parents of young children. It's an unusually disporportionate number of people in need of nappy changing facilities, therefore facilities should be separated.

Anyway, I couldn't get my wheelchair inside the toilet. It's a 40cm sports model, so goodness knows what size of wheelchair they had in mind when they made it, I am guessing they manufactured it the size they can carry on a truck and worked backwards to make it level access and fit some ridiculously placed bars.

So my apologies if you were among the people who had to watch me go to the bathroom yesterday because I couldn't shut the door, but ...

When you insert a picture in a post, you can include which size you want it to be in the "width" field, 500-600 is a size that won't bust smaller screens. ;)

Could you give an example how to do that with the HTML code, say, without the quotation marks? I've been struggling with images for ages, despite being relatively savvy with HTML in most other regards.

<img src="http://yourphotohosturl.com/yourpicture.jpg" height=480 width=640 alt="Text for blind readers" /> should do the trick.

If you switch to the Rich Text Editor, the image popup in there has all the options, so you can use that to get an example, then switch back to the HTML editor to see the code.
