  • Remove white border on images in WP

    When posting last time I realised my example images had a little white border around them. For other occasions it may have been nice but this time I needed it without any borders.

    Another example below, left with white border and right with no border:

    test image test image

    To remove that automatically added border when you submit your post using WordPress do the following:

    1. Open your post for editing.
    2. Click on the image in question and select the Edit Image option.
    3. Click on the Advanced Settings tab on the top.
    4. Insert a 0 (zero digit) in the Border field under Image Properties.
    5. Save.

    Pretty simple stuff but thought I would share it in case someone else was looking for a remedy.

  • Rounded corners online tool

    Lately I have been working on improving my consultancy’s website towards a more showcase based look’n’feel. I had to post a photo of myself so I first decided to use my Gravatar image. As you can see below it looked a bit dull with square corners, so instead I changed the photo to round corners:

    Indeed nicer, no? Gravatar should definitely offer rounded corners as an optional feature.

    Thanks goes to RoundPic for providing an easy way of quickly rounding the corners of any photo or image.

  • Find a Windows Vista MAC Address

    Yesterday eve I had to add a laptop to my network which is using MAC address filtering. The laptop ran Windows Vista and I tried to locate its MAC address by using the good old ipconfig within a command prompt. This gave no results as apparently the network details only get listed once an actual network connection is made. As you probably have realised this is a catch-22 situation as without the MAC address registered on the router I was never going to make a network connection in the first place…!

    Actually the weird thing is that the MAC address is normally on a sticker on the bottom of laptops, but in this case there was no such sticker.

    Google as in most other cases provided a quick fix by pointing me in the right direction. There is a command specifically for this task named funnily enough: getmac.
