I have used both, and yes, they do.

Note: there is a big difference between publishing a web page and a blog post - yes both go on the web but the code is very different

I have used Windows Live Writer in the past and it worked well.

@notawoodpecker, thank you for the input. I'm fairly new to the whole tag spamming thing and I'm still trying to come to grips with it. But yes I will check into Windows Live Writer if I run across it. The current version of Word that I use has a Web Publishing option I believe, so I'll check into that as well.

^ Have either of you used OpenOffice or LibreOffice? Do they add the same type of code Word does?

I use them, but not for this type of thing.

If you like Word, then use Windows Live Writer. It's from the same company, and works similarly without all the technical problems.

I tried the MS Word make a blog post option a few months ago and really did not like the way it works at all.

You can Paste from MS Word if you paste using the Paste from Word option box - it is the funny looking box with the "W" in it on the second line of your editor functions just above the text box - that should strip out the bad stuff - I have only used it a couple of times and can't remember how much of the formatting it keeps

First, understand the difference between using word processors and formatting documents for the web.

MS Word adds highly excessive code for some reason. I believe it has a Web Publishing option, but I stopped using Word so long ago I forgot how to trigger it.

Try using something like Windows Live Writer or any number of other products for web creation.

Also, based on the tags you've added to this thread, you might want to read up on tag spamming.

I've recently been introduced to WordPress and I found out that the description and text boxes are identically the same as Facebook's, where you can't properly format it with tabs or proper spacing. I know there are a series of inputs to properly format the text, but is there a way to do this much more easily? For instance: I take a document from Microsoft Word that I have already typed and I want to copy it into the WordPress text box and have it displayed exactly how it is in Microsoft Word, with all the tabs and single spaces. It doesn't do that unfortunately, so can someone offer me some advice? Please and thank you.

To make that change in the Adventure Journal theme, add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

.entry-utility .cat-links,
.entry-utility .tag-links,
.entry-utility .comments-link {
	display: block;
	padding-bottom: 8px;
}

.entry-utility .meta-sep {
	display: none;
}

Hi there,

does any one know how to separate in blocks the options showed at the end of a post? At this time, "categories", "tags" and "Comments" are showed in the same box, which is not what I want and makes it difficult for people to find the "comment" button.

How can I split this box into three diferent boxes, with more space between them? Dos anyone know?

Thanks!!!

Haha okay perfect. Thanks a bunch for your help!

Oh, one other thing. No two browsers render things exactly the same, so all this futzing to get the bottom of the page content area aligned with the bottom of the last widget in the sidebar isn't going to happen for all visitors.

Welcome to the web.

I would suggest against having multiple scroll bars on a page. That confuses and irritates web users because they can get mixed up on the scoll bars and if you are using a scroll wheel and scrolling down a page and come upon a nested area with a scroll bar, then that area begins to scroll.

Before you can work with the code above, you need to clean that stuff out of the pages. Then you can, by trial and error work with the following to get the minimum height to correspond with the bottom of the sidebar stuff. The pages that are longer, just let them run longer. This code targets pages only. Put it at the bottom of any CSS you already have in the CSS edit window.

.page .entry-content {
min-height: 200px;
}

K so using the code you gave me before and removing the paragraph spaces I have A) worked out now. Thank you so much!

As far as B) goes - setting the Service page, the only one that is longer in content - is there a way to add a scroll bar so I can shorted it up to the same length as the others?

yycburgers — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:54:44 +0000

Yes that was my make-shift solution before coming for help. Because what my goal is is to have every Pages-box flush with the bottom photo of the three photos on the right. Does that make sense? Sorry if I'm explaining it poorly.

So I run into trouble with:
A) Using paragraph spaces and sticking that gaudy footer logo at the bottom of the short posts is obviously inefficient, and the don't match up perfectly

B) the "Our Team" page is actually too long (only one like that) and I wanted to make the content have a scroll bar rather than this awkwardly long box of content hanging down.

thesacredpath — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:21:31 +0000

OK, the thing in like on the "projects" page, you have a whole bunch of empty paragraph tags below "coming soon" so nothing is going to shorten that page up except removing all the empty paragraph tags. I see a number of those in other pages as well - careers for one.

yycburgers on "Parament Post box Sizes"

yycburgers — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:18:24 +0000

Yes so sorry. Pages is definitely what I meant.

thesacredpath on "Parament Post box Sizes"

thesacredpath — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:17:19 +0000

Perhaps I misread. Are you talking about pages rather than posts?

yycburgers on "Parament Post box Sizes"

yycburgers — Fri, 25 May 2012 05:02:53 +0000

That code doesn't appear to do it, sorry. Dropped it all the way to 10 and didn't see any change.

Not the burgers one. I swear I clicked the right thing in the post options. Doing well haha

yycburgers — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:51:04 +0000

Oh yeah I always forget that. It's private. Settings changed, you should be able to see it now, sorry. So basically I'm trying to get all the pages one static size (like "Home") and not smaller ("Contacts") or running on ("Our Team") if that is at all possible?

thesacredpath on "Parament Post box Sizes"

thesacredpath — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:49:41 +0000

This would do it, but I would suggest not getting the minimum too high since it causes people to scroll more and that is never a good thing.

.entry-content {
min-height: 200px;
}

Hi I wondered if there was a way to make the boxes your "Pages" content are posed into a static size with the Parament theme? So where I have only a few lines has a bunch of space below it, and where I have extra content you have a scroll bar to see more?

So I was changing some colors on my site in the code for my wordpress theme (Amphion Lite) and out of nowhere and it seemed long after I had changed all the colors, the boxes around my twitter widgets disappeared. I don't know why or how to fix it. Any insight into this problem would be appreciated! Thanks. The site is http://www.bobobroadcasting.net

By the way, at the moment your images link to themselves instead of the URLs they're supposed to.

panaghiotisadam on "Coding Request"

panaghiotisadam — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:37:28 +0000

The easiest solution is this (in the HTML editor, of course):


CODE OF ALL THREE IMAGES HERE

But don't forget to replace aligncenter and alignright in the second and third image codes with alignleft.

You can change the margin-top and margin-bottom numbers to adjust the space that separates the box from the header and the footer of the theme.

959EA1 is the color of the title of your page. But you can change it - palettes and color codes here:
http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html

If you don't like the result (for instance, if you'd like to change the distance between the images), we'll need to create a more complicated code.
