a separate blog is probably the best way… guess WP is just not designed for this kind of thing.

I foune this:

which should help…

thanks for the tip.

I had looked at that thread, but it was not very clear…

The code I posted seems to be working, however…

I’m sure it’s dirt easy, but I haven’t looked yet. I’m using Alex King’s plug-in for now as a quick fix.

As an aside, I think the backward single quote in situations like ‘sample’ is a bug. Apparently they coded it so anytime a single quote is followed by an ‘s’ it’s converted to a right-handed single quote.

This whole quote mess is like original sin. I didn’t eat the apple, but I’m the one sweating for it. Whoever introduced those funky quotes should be made to fix every information system in the world that gets screwed up by them.

You’re right about upgrades – I maintain an annotated list of all my core mods and re-implement them after an upgrade. It’s a pain, but the safest approach, I think. Perhaps this site has a database of WP core hacks that users have submitted? It would be interesting to see what folks are doing…

In Word 2003, go to Tools > AutoCorrect Options… and you will see the AutoCorrect dialog with 5 different tabs – it’s on the AutoFormat tab, I think. I turn off just about everything in this dialog.

got it working!

Here is the complete code:

var pid = location.search.split("post=");
edButtons[edButtons.length] =
new edButton('ed_more'
,'more'
,'<!--more--><small>You may find this page easier to read with a different background color.<br />Select your preference from the drop-down list.</small></p><form name="bgcolor" action="http :// www . example . com/?p=' + pid[1] + '#more-' + pid[1] + '" method="post"><select style="width: 180px" name="color" onchange="bgcolor.submit()"><option selected="selected" value="default">select background color</option><option value="white">default</option><option value="yellow">yellow</option><option value="grey">grey</option></select></form>'
,''
,'t'
,-1
);

notes:
1. </p> before <form> element
2. no line breaks in the string following <!--more-->

Looks like you can add just about anything you want, including a form, to be inserted with that <!--more--> tag.

You’ll break it if you have a line break in your code, however.
