Sorry – my misunderstanding

If you’re using quicktags:
Set default to open in advanced editing.
Add a quicktag in the quicktag.js file that will write the code automatically
Or you can get the WYSIWYG hack from https://mudbomb.com/archives/2004/05/29/wysiwyg-hack-for-wordpress/

Sure:
No problem, I’m a Marketing Manager for a manufacturing company. I’ve designed and maintained sites for years.

Do you want a wordpress site designed like your example

I’m on a mac too but still using the old IE5. That’s what they give me here at work. Couldn’t believe it, man they’re years behind!
Your posts are overlapping the right hand white outline. Everything else looks good to me.

I personally like to see more color, but it’s looking good.
Check your layout size. The horizontal sizing may be a bit wide

why not just add it in your quicktag.js?

Simple is better especially when you have many users and different browsers. Otherwise you’ll have to support their many questions with your TIME.
I think it makes sense using a simple text editor that has a “Word” like GUI, something most computer users are familiar with and then have the output nestled between your header and footer.
If you want to stay with WP, check out this plugin recently being used with WP. I haven’t had any personal experience with it yet because of time but seems to be OK with other folks.

But any ways, I believe you’ll have greater and faster success using what you’re familiar with, building an html template to use for all your other pages, using php includes and then providing a simple interface for your users that’s tied into a SQL database.
WP is great but I still have a few doubts about using it to support the validation of my entire site especially in the real world of multiple browser users.
I hope this helps.

In addition, you’ll probably want to take out some of the code in the index.php file making it look more like a static web page rather than a blog page.
I would also suggest not doing everything with WP. I don’t think it’s needed. You could use links to some static pages but make sure they view correctly in different browsers and they are built in pixel dimesions and not percentage dimensions.
Also consider the home page to be static html considering search engines.

I believe you can build a static template that gives you the look you want for every page as it would appear when you call up your wordpress.index.php file. Then add your links, categories etc. when you login as administrator. You would provide the “look’ in wp-layout.css and index.php. Then I believe you would have to convert your static content in “Write” page edit window. You would be able to copy and paste your html but most likely it wouldn’t validate. So you’ll have to redo alot of the code. This can be done easily with the quicktags and some plugins.
I have edited the quicktags.js file on my site to do just that. I’ve added many new quicktags to make coding easier anywhere from changing type face, color, highlights, bullets, etc. to adding photos, lines, links and so on.
I think you’ll have to be as simple as possible for your users and give them specific directions as to how the quicktags work. I am also working on adding icons and mouse over screen helps for the quicktag functions.
It would also help to be able to outline on paper just exactly what the template is, what the links you add will be, categories, colors, and user options.
I hope this helps give you some direction or at least some options.
Randy

Yes I agree. Sometimes it takes an extra patient person to put up with basic questions coming from me and that you are.
Podz, you’ve helped me a few times directly and many times indirectly when I read your responses to other posts I’m interested in.
You’re part of the success of WordPress.
Thank you
Randy

The ones I replaced were from my 1.2. It should look like my 1.2 layout but it doesn’t.

Went to your link and I cana€?t see where you can change font size or color. Is that a feature of this editor or do you plan on adding this later? Ia€?m changing font size and color by adding quicktag buttons in the quicktag.js file in addition to adding horizontal lines and a few other things.
Looking forward to following this.

That last post messed up the code. Everything between ‘ and ‘ should show on 1 line. So if you put it back together it might make more sense.
Thanks
Randy

I’ve tried using the image toggle code WP gives:
<!–wp:pic src=”yourphoto.jpg”–>
and then trying to add the same line next to it and that doesn’t work either.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Randy
