jQuery Image Scale Script for WordPress. Set the maximum width of images in your posts!

Tonight, I was struggling trying to make an image resize dynamically on one of my WordPress sites based on a maximum image width.

Note: This will conflict with the Featured Content Gallery plugin (and probably others, too!). Please let me know if you figure out how to get it working with that plugin! 🙂

Enjoy!

Second, paste the following code AFTER the “wp_head()” function call:
