My bed is calling, but I want to share this practical blogging tip with you while I think of it...
Have you ever experienced that thing where you put your post together, carefully formatting to get the paragraph spacing right, and then once you publish it, the paragraph space seems to have vanished? And no matter how many times you hit the enter key to create new paragraph spacing, the space always gets swallowed up?
Or you find that something which looks fine in the 'Compose Post' box before you publish, somehow changes to giant or teeny size letters as soon as you publish it?
Well, chances are that when that last happened to you, it was because you were using text copied and pasted from another source,
eg. a website or a 'Word' doc. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but when you copied and pasted the text, you also captured a load of 'invisible' code that your blog is 'struggling to read' and make sense of. But there's a really simply solution which will prevent this happening...
When copying text from another source ALWAYS paste it first into a 'Notepad' doc, then copy it again within that new doc and then paste it into your blog. Here are the steps then...
1 - Highlight and copy relevant text in source document or website.
2 - Paste into new 'Notepad' document.
3 - Within the new 'Notepad' doc., highlight and copy same text again.
4 - Paste into blog post box.
What's 'Notepad'?
Try looking here... from 'Start' (bottom left of screen probably) select 'All Programs' then 'Accessories'. You'll see 'Notepad' in the drop down list.
