UPDATE: i have managed to figure it out. FTR, the info in the forums is not clear. apparently i am going to spend my spare time learning html, which is one reason i no longer use the apple host.
however, at least the formatting of paragraphs seems to be fixed.
i am really really really pissed right now that i can’t run my blog the way i want.
thanks, WordPress.
i didn’t realize i had to have a degree in html to use this. everyone told me it was so much easier to use.
a heads up would have been nice, along w/ the option to use the old version until you worked out the bugs.
gah!
*headdesk*
anyway, enjoy what was supposed to be the “new mascot edition” of random babble’s monday monty moment.

Hi, here via Blog365.
Does the embed break your layout? This is a problem I have had with 2.3 (have not upgraded yet.)
To fix it in 2.3, under the Users tab, there is Your Profile. There might be a check box for “Use Visual Editor When Writing” If there is, try unchecking the box.
It will mean you need to write your posts without Visual Editor.
Very frustrating if this has not been fixed for 2.5!
1) Happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
you look like a monkey
and you live in a zoo!
Back before video embed codes became widely used, I used to take a screen shot of the video and then turn the pic into a link back to the video’s homepage in my blogposts. It’s not perfect, and you still have to leave the site to watch it, but it does at least give you the visual video presence.
the problem is i don’t know how to use the plain editor. i guess i will have to figure it out. i would move the site again, but it was such a pain in the ass, plus i had to pay to use the domain name…i just don’t know about the trouble.
grr.
oh! hey! this is also my 200th post!
see. the video should appear at the top of the post. in the forums (let me tell you how useful those are) they said to use the “WordPress short code” or something, w/ brackets. where do i find the info for placing b/t the brackets?
wev dude…
i am so pissed right now
at least i am somewhat intelligent.
*headdesk*
i figured out how to do the coding myself.
yay!
And as evil as blogger is- you could keep your domain name and use blogger. They do have some serious formatting for dummies (though I haven’t figured out a cheap and easy way to do after the jump text yet)
