Blog Trouble?

could you post it here so other operating systems can look at it and see what browsers it works in.

Hello Littleus,

Just left a message on the other thread. Similar vein

It is possible to do this. You have to create sections within your table and each section is then addressed by formatting tags separately.

Hey Littleus you can do that.

The spacing problem si coming from copying text without stripping format commands.

The alignment and formatting of different parts of you posts (ie paragraphs within tables) can be done with various codes used in tables.

That could be rogue code coming in from your text editor. There has been a code read as the default and what you add is the real code. So it sounds as if the rogue code is setting it further in from the border than the explicit code.

:)

Use Notepad.

The default value for cellpadding is 1. If you're seeing it bigger and you can't see a code , it's there but invisible.

Littleus,

Can I suggest that you setup a template for this.

Create a page on your site with the template.

When you come to do another one simply copy the template and paste it to your blog page.

Then add the new blog content to that.

That way you could have your margins setup, your alignment, and your sections all ready to go. Then all you need to do is to copy the appropriate text into the appropriate part of your blog with notepad. That really is as easy as I can think of for your application.

Thanks Emmy,

The same effect for sure.

Once you have your perfect blog that's setup to your satisfaction:

Copy & paste the code into a page of your site or another site,

Take out the text and add a prompt sentence: like "Heading goes here" at the relevant place.

In the Body part of the table , then a prompt something like" Blog text" and so on for all and any other sections.

Save it

When you come to adding another blog then go to that saved template within the builder, copy it, paste it into your blog.

Then just overwrite the prompt text with your new text. If it's a considerable passage that you've witten in Word or some other processor, copy it into notepad and paste it into the relevant sections.

The notepad file would work just as well and may be the way you like to access your resources that you've categorised in your computer for Synthasite work.

It may be easier sometimes to "see" the template because there maybe situations that would allow you to anticipate a variation and make a change to the template. Personal choice.

Another option is to simply create or copy your blog in Publisher or Word, convert it to an HTML file and paste it into your page. Once again I would probably create a template for this to standardise and simplify new work added. Ed would have a better users perspective of this I'm sure

Hi Littleus,

In the SynthaSite tools you simply can't. The solution is probably in some other tool.

Can I get back to you on this issue Littleus? I'll have to do some reading, if I can find it, on what is carried across, what is added and what's dropped in the HTML code of these two editors (FF and Word).

Littleus,

sorry to keep you hanging on these issues but a workaround for the time being would be to add the explicit code for line spacing, cell-padding etc. into the proposed template. That would mean that whatever was there probably would be stripped by notepad and the explicit formattiing instructions would then be followed.

I know you will.

Can I recommend three resources for HTML which I use and they are quite good: (there are probably a zillion others as well)

and of course http://quackit.com
They all have the same stuff but their styles are different. Strengths and style it comes to I guess.

Goodluck and publish a Tutorial on it in your spare time mother!

Congratulations Littleus!
