Blogger: Image posting problems

I have some problems ...posting images. That's a big problem 'couse, maybe you've noticed, I love images. Since a few days my images have decided to resize themselves and end up much smaller then they have to.

For example take a look at this post and then there's the last post where I wanted the images bigger than they are, filling up the whole post width. I have tried to click and drag them in the Compose mode without result and I've tried editing the code in the Edit Html mode but no dice. well, that is, I've managed to make some changes but not good enough.
Also when I made some changes in my sidebar under the headline "...and these" they suddenly ended up ridiculously small instead of filling out the whole sidebar width.

What's going on?? Have you had any similar experiences?

Design: Italian Pastille Box Wrappers

Italian candy producer Leone has some great designs for their pastille box wrappers. The first one is absinthe flavor and is only one item in a range of products Leone makes with "the green fairy".
The "caffé" wrapper retro design made me think of the great Italian artist Fortunato Depero's brilliant advertising art.

Book Covers: Big Brother

1984 was written by Eric Arthur Blair in 1948 and as it has been reprinted a great many times in numerous countries these are of course just a drop in the ocean when it comes to fronts covers of the book. Just the same, there they are.


By the way, the 1984 index stands at "UNGOOD" - that can't be good, can it?

Music: Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell (1936- ) The first video in this Glen Campbell playlist don't have very much of Glen in it as it is a medley of songs sung by a bunch of artists; The Ronettes, Sonny and Cher, Darlene Love and the Blossoms, Bobby Goldsboro, Donna Loren, Billy Preston, The Shindogs, The Righteous Brothers and... Glen Campbell. I just thought it was such a great TV production, this 1965 Shindig show, that I could not not have it in the jukebox. Thank you Polaroid and Dippity-Do!! If you want to watch it in a larger screen just push ZOOM at the bottom of the player.



Thanks to all the uploaders like mrdantefontana and nicetrip...

PS. Did you know he was a member of the Beach Boys in the mid 60s?
OK, here's the famous mugshot too.

Sometimes two great minds get similar ideas at the same time: The World Of Kane.: Glen Campbell: Wichita Lineman

Vintage postcard: World exposition 1937

An interesting postcard from the world exposition - Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne - in Paris 1937. The Nazi-German pavilion on the left placed directly across the Stalin-Soviet pavilion on the right. Talk about premonition of things to come.




Uploaded to Vintage photographs by h rust

The German pavilion was designed by Albert Speer (and sculptor Josef Thorak) and the Soviet pavilion by Boris Mihailovich Iofan (and sculptor Vera Mukhina). Need I say they both were awarded the gold medal?

Please go here for more postcards and photos from the exposition!

Fetish: Librophilia

"Everyone has some kind of place that makes them feel transported to a magical realm. For some people it's castles with their noble history and crumbling towers. For others it's abandoned factories, ivy choked, a sense of foreboding around every corner. For us here at Curious Expeditions, there has always been something about libraries. Row after row, shelf after shelf, there is nothing more magical than a beautiful old library."

"...Curious Expeditions has attempted to gather together the world's most beautiful libraries for you..."
