Thanks anyways Cena – i’ll give it a day or so maybe someone will still have a solution. or may prompt a solution/work around Peace * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [target=’_blank’](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/target_blank-12/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/target_blank-12/#post-41818) * uhg. i hate doing that ;/ (posting w/o logging in….) wheres auto login these days /me sigh anyways yay for a spam post… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [target=’_blank’](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/target_blank-12/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/target_blank-12/#post-41782) * for a question i had reguarding the target location, i was told i could use (for your use now), i wouldnt suggest it, i think its a depreciated tag, and it applies to all links on the page, so others will have to be defined if they are to stay in the parent frame * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Quick and Dirty category-post viewing!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-and-dirty-category-post-viewing/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-and-dirty-category-post-viewing/#post-41159) * thanks dude, i think this may be just what im looking for your effort & time trying to figure it out is definitely appreciated <3 * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [More Features for Forum or phpBB/vB!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-features-for-forum-or-phpbbvb/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-features-for-forum-or-phpbbvb/page/2/#post-41098) * i would have to agree an upgrade in forums would be a nice change. for the specific reason i find with opera, this board to be buggy, posts dont go through, i multi post cus they dont show up, its odd, i dont have these problems on other boards, other sites, or in other browsers, but thats my reason for change i dont know if you all experiance the same. but it looks as if they are set in their ways about this board and i dont really see it changing any time soon. gl though, keep us posted if you start a new one 😉 * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Bad Blog Trends](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-blog-trends/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-blog-trends/page/2/#post-41016) * btw having looked at your site again without really having anything else to write. i noticed another piece to your design that made me want to write another post. your table/css layout. -header image(s) have a thick grey background. -3 nav links have a 1px border, which looks similar to the color of the header border color. -border color & width of the left/mid/right colums -footer background, border color/width -too many font-sizes in use for my taste. anyways, im off this time, gl with your writing 🙂 * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Bad Blog Trends](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-blog-trends/) * [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-blog-trends/page/2/#post-41015) * as the old saying goes, a person is there own worst critic… i hope with all this research and writing that you stumble apoun, the bad designs your site has are fixed. [quote] I’m specifically interested in design issues that are cliched or just useless.[/quote] i’d like to use your index page as the basis, ive gone no deeper, and i do not feel inclined to either. i wont bash your content as thats yours to write and for me to ignore if i want. 1) the background. people will be reading heavy amounts of content, think about that O_o. 2) the use of text colors on the calander. its ‘useless’ having a calander when people cant even read the current date. 3) redundent links. the site has archives down the left, which look to work, but then at the top you have ‘archives’ as well. but not only is there a second link, the link doesnt work, it has a javascript popup to telling us, we cant go anywhere. 4) removing the redundent link in your 3 part main navigation makes the top nav almost useless. 5) serious revision of navgation layout and categorization & placement should be looked at and tried. 6) praticality of semi-hidden login & registeration links. i really did cut down wut i put wrote, so i dont run myself off on tangents. you obviously have something to say and thats great, its always great to read something other than your typical immature emo kid complaining about how ‘their’ bad life is. However, i dont think a person should be writing an article, about bad designs when they themselves have a hard time ahereing to design principles taught or even written about dozens of times already. Then again, this may be the exact look your going for. but i really do not find that too believable. I compliment you on your display of text, it works. I find many blogs hard to read with not only clashing colors, but size, it seems minimal is kool to some people there for font-size: 1px; is acceptable by todays bloggers. i dont appreciate the fact people take small to another level. GL with your blog, your article & the future. but i do emphasis that a revision of your website should be done to at least hold some of the mentions in the article you are writing or have written already. otherwise it may not be taken seriously, coming from a person who cant adhere to the standars they researched, and im assuming, agree with. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Giving a target to ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-a-target-to-lt-more-gt/) * Thread Starter [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-a-target-to-lt-more-gt/#post-40862) * wtf. sorry guys, spent 15minutes for 1 post to show up and like 5 show up at once. my bad * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Giving a target to ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-a-target-to-lt-more-gt/) * Thread Starter [mage111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mage111/) * (@mage111) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-a-target-to-lt-more-gt/#post-40860) * well the base target suggestion worked. but it worked without me knowing how the script worked with that command. it would seem because the page rewrites itself fully, the ‘iframe’ im using is filled with an entire layout, rather then (and i dont know why i was thinking things) just the news post. is there any way to create a hack for this. i would need the script to spit out just the text into the iframe ratehr then the entire layout.
