Formatting Problems

October 18th 2006 01:43

For some reason the words on one of my blogs was running right off the side of the page. I couldn't find any margin settings and I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Voices~

Thanks for the bug report. Always appreciated.

Could you let me know the URL of the post which is causing the problems? This will help me figure out what is going on.

Jon.

When editing a comment, it is also doing the same thing, where the words extend beyond the text box and you can't see it to edit the comment.

Thanks,

Also, Anonymous keeps taking credit for everyone's post. It's quite rude.

Is anyone else having this problem? It often helps to have more than one example.

Hi..me again. I hate to nag but I am losing traffic on this page due to the margin problem...if you can take a look at it I would appreciate it.

It's the "Five...Six...Pick Up Sticks..." post. Thanks

Hi.. I can't figure out what is going on here -- very strange. I'm going to transfer all of your posts over to your new blog and see if you have the same problem there.

I've moved all your posts across and it's still not displaying properly. I've asked Jay (our programmer) to have a look but he is in the UK and so won't get around to it until tonight Oz time.

I cannot see any problems with this - it displays fine in my browser! New URL is:

Five...Six...Pick up sticks

Can you tell me what is supposed to be wrong with it? And was it broken before anyone posted a comment or did it start looking bad after a particular comment was posted?

This happened to me to a lesser degree, but I wasn't that concerned about it:

Not sure if that helps?

Hi Shani

In your case the page has been stretched by the long URL you have entered. Try to use the LINK facility but enter a descriptive link rather than the full URL - this way:

1) you won't get page distortion with long links as seen in this case.

2) you can provide a catchy and useful phrase for your link, such as Shoot The Chef: Official Article which will help people browsing your Blog to know what the link is for.

3) you might help the search engine ranking of your blog - search engines like descriptive links.

Voices - can you post a screenshot of your Blog so I can see what is going on? I still can't see what is up - it looks fine on my version of I.E!?!

Hi Helen's House

Have you got a URL where I can see the problem occurring?

Thanks

It did start the night before I posted this problem, after a comment was added...I wouldn't know whose..but I hope that helps. It is getting worse though. Thanks.
