In reply to: FAIL to embed twitter widget.I have. But it’s pot and kettle: it appears to be both a wordpress and a twitter issue: something’s wrong with either the sending of an API, or the receiving of the API.

In reply to: FAIL to embed twitter widget.thanks for the effort, but that’s not an explanation, let alone a real solution.
I have something similar lightweight like that. But the twitter profile badge embedding doesn’t work. I want to use that. It’s far superior designwise.
best,

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsparagraps are not very readable, the text clutters together. if you check vollmer.nl, you’ll see what i mean: my paragraphs are readable, yet have three times a smuch space between them than WP allows you to have.
i got the advice to alter the CSS:
Controlling the spacing between paragraphs when the browser renders them is one of the things that CSS is designed to do easily. It lets you do quite a bit more than that, but it is one of the things you can do with it.
The best way to do this consistently is to learn a bit about CSS and get the custom CSS upgrade, since you can then just set a class on the paragraphs and have the CSS set up to take care of it. Short of that, you can specify this on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis in the HTML view in the editor. Here’s an example to play with:
<p style=”text-align:left;”>Here’s a paragraph with default margin, border, and padding.</p>
<p style=”text-align:left;padding-top:5em;”>So, what happens here?</p>
<p style=”text-align:left;”>Here’s another paragraph with default margin, border, and padding.</p>
<p style=”text-align:left;padding-bottom:16em;”>And what happens here?.</p>
<p style=”text-align:left;”>And here’s yet another paragraph with default margin, border, and padding.</p>Try putting that into a draft post and previewing it; you should see some (excessively large) spaces between a couple of the paragraphs.
lotta hassle for a simple question, yet it’s good to have an option.

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsi know, but i am more of a “cooked” editor type of person.
i highly prefer the flashy fashizzle over the plain and simple html editor.but surely lloydbud, there must be an easier way to get [p] breaks?
it’s such wonderful software, but this thingy sticks out like a sticky thorn in a big bowl of otherwise delightfully tasteful raspberryjam…

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphswell, i upgraded to WP 2.5 manually (i.e. making backups and using ftp to transfer all the files.
problem with [p] started.
i upgraded to 2.5.1. using installatron, an auto script install service my provider provides to me. that runs smoothly, WP recognises the update and doesn’t give me the “please update” message anymore.
here’s a link tomy blog
here’s a link to installatronthanks for all your suggestions handysolo, let’s hope there’s another WP user out there with advice!

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsfirefox.
but i’ve seen the problem occur on IE too…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsthe spacing problem appears in my editor already,
everytime i save a post i am writing my enters are deleted.
just today I upgraded to 2.5.1 -see if that would make a difference- to no avail.
would re-copying install-files make a bigger difference than upgrading? or does that do the same as re-copying?
i also tried to diable the plugins,
and tried another theme.
problem still occurs.

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsi know, that’s what i did
<.br> or <.p>
do not work…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: problem formatting paragraphsnope! doesn’t work!
(and shouldn’t there be an easier way than switching to the html editor? as in: just typing a couple of enters and actually see them reflected in your final post?)anyway, the [br] or [p] tags: tried that a long time ago.
if you check out vollmer.nl and look at the last post for instance, you’ll see what i mean. i don’t know if you can view the page source, but trust me, i just inserted multiple [.br] tags between the first two lines.
i found the location of the problem by the way:
when, after adding [br] in the WP 2.5 html editor i switch back to the visual editor and click “save”, the [br]’s are gone…

In reply to: problem formatting paragraphswell,
if i want to start a new paragraph, i used to be able to hit the enter once. or twice if i wanted even more space between paragraphs, if i’d start a new topic for instance, or bring in a new argument in a column.
hitting enter would create more space between the last sentence of the previous paragraph and the first of the next paragraph.
like this:
first paragraph
hit the enter-key
next paragraph
but, with 2.5, all the times i used the enter key to create space for a next paragraph, so as to make it more readable, all my enters are reduced to a single one.
as a solution, i now insert “full stop”- dots: “.” where i want more space between paragraphs, and change the color of this dot to white. This way, it looks like there’s empty space between paragraphs.
so my question is:
is there a solution to the problem i have when formatting a text with the visual editor, when it “deletes” all my [enter] hits?thanks for your help.
