I have another annoyance with WordPress and its lack of figure and figcaption when inserting media that has, you know, a caption…

So, naturally I checked the Internet, trying to find something that someone else did so I wouldn’t have to do it. And what I came across was this:

There were a couple things that I didn’t like, for instance, the lack of figure and figcaption… So I made a few changes, and now have this:

I also recommend adding this to your CSS file, in addition to the standard HTML5 Shiv-type stuff:
.wp-caption.aligncenter img {
margin: 0 auto;
}
.wp-caption.aligncenter figcaption {
text-align: center;
}

Happy figuring & captioning,
