WordPress Blogging – Annoying Blank Lines In Posts Or Pages

On June 16, 2011, in Blogging, Professional Blogging, WordPress, by Editor

Whenever you write a post in Visual Mode you might enter a number of blank lines by hitting the Enter key. Or sometimes you copy a text from another document or website, and then you paste, delete unwanted empty lines and save the draft. In some cases, after you saved the draft, you might get annoyed to see that the additional, unwanted empty lines re-appeared.

How many of you have heard it said that geeks will rule the world? I certainly heard this growing up. The moral of this story is to not be mean to geeks and to not take advantage of their intelligences. However, my experience with American youth is that geeks might not rule the world after all.

Guest blog post at Patricia's Vampire Notes

When I sat down and began outlining, I had a clear idea of how long I wanted it to be and where I wanted it to go. But the longer I worked on it, it became clearer that the story I wanted to tell would not be confined to thirty to fifty pages of a short. Especially after the creation of the character Lawless.

In Between Writing and Editing

On April 6, 2011, in Ariel Ceylan, Blogging, Guest Writers, Writing & Publishing, Writing Tips, by Ariel Ceylan

After spending time to write a book, one undergoes a long period of rewriting and editing. This is usually best when one does not start the editing process right after writing the piece. This is because one usually knows what one means when reading one’s own work. Of course, it is great to know what one means, however, it is another matter entirely for someone else to know what one means.

Sick And Tired Of BlueHost.Com – The Problem With Shared Server Hosting

On March 20, 2011, in Blogging, Blogging Aspects, Professional Blogging, WordPress Tips, by Editor

BlueHost.Com, in their own words, is an “affordable, reliable web hosting solution.” And yes, I agree that their service is affordable. However, you get what you pay for.

Nothing wrong with that… as long as you have a small website (which FrogenYozurt.Com isn’t anymore), and you don’t share the server box with users utilizing an inordinate amount of system resources, and that’s exactly what happened to FrogenYozurt.Com.

Finding a Place to Write

One of the challenges I find while trying to write is finding the proper location to engage in the activity. When I’m at my college, I have so many options ranging from empty classrooms to department libraries to the student union.  All I have to do is find a room that no one else is [...]

On March 17, 2011, in Blogging, Blogging Aspects, Lifestyle, Professional Blogging, by Editor

Well, we all have and love our Facebook account, and may even tweet. However, especially under Twitter, it seems to be a sport for many people to accumulate as many “friends/followers” as possible. And yes, businesses are the worst. On Twitter I blocked, among many others, followers like a hypnotist from London, a firewood delivery service in Wisconsin, a horse farm in Illinois, and last, but not least a drunk bimbo in Los Angeles who posted sexually implicit messages with less than 140 characters. By the way, I live in Western Massachusetts.
