Changing Andreas04 text area default font ONLY
-
Well, thanks to you all. I’ll try WLW and if having problems I’ll come back to the CSS option.
-
So, if you can help me to clean up my blog and giving it consistency but CSS is necessary, I’ll buy it. You let me know, please.CSS isn’t used to clean bad coding… CSS is used to change how your theme looks
What you’ll need to do to clean the bad HTML coding is edit each post that
has it and highlight the wording click the eraser icon in your editor…P.s. Your welcome, & thanks for saying thank you

All what I posted today was made using Windows Live Writer (WLW) and I have to thanks you for the recommendation because WLW is a great tool. The today’s posts I see when entering my blog as a visitor seems to be fine, but I don’t know if you at WordPress still can see garbage code on it.
So far I found two “uncomfortable problems” only,
1.- There are some missing names in the list of categories, and I had to write in paper a list to figure out, by position, what the missing name is.
And most important and time consuming:
2.- I have to open Format in order to change font (style, size and color) on a post-by-post basis. I’m trying to find how to change the WLW default font to ‘Cambria 12 Rgular Black”.
Thanks again!

1. You can refresh the list of categories in WLW, and that should bring in the entire category list.
2. There doesn’t seem to be a way to set a default font. But if you just type what you want, and then go back and highlight all of the text and change the font, it only takes a couple of clicks. -
Wow your post Done by WLW looks really nice…
To answer your there is no way at this point to set
a default for your font….and for the category’s issue… At the bottom of
the post there is a double arrow click on that
and it will display your posting options you’ll
have to be signed into your wordpress account
thru WLW for your category list to update -
Thanks. Teck07.
Sorry to hear that about the default font. At least you saved me the time I was spending in looking for a solution.
Regarding the categories, what I’m using is just what you mention, but when the list of categories is displayed, a lot of names are missing.
Another problem I forgot to mention is the one related with characters not in the English alphabet. I discovered that while trying to use the Search function in my blog. I submitted the problem to your support and I was told that the solution is to retype, while in the Search window, any character having an accent or the letter Ñ. They also told me they are working to correct that.
I use to distribute my post tittles using FeedBlitz. What I tried to distribute today presented estrange characters where an accent, and Ñ or even quotes (“) should be shown. I had to enter WP as admin, editing each of the post involved in that, and replace the estrange character by the appropriate one. I’ll try to do that while still in WLW.
-
The list of categories on the WordPress edit window defaults to the most used categories. To get the entire list, you have to click on All Categories.
I still say that if you refresh the categories list in WLW, all of them will show up for you to choose there.
-
When posting from inside WordPress I have no problem with categories.
The problem with categories without name is when posting from inside WLW. Same is valid for non English alphabet characters: no problem when posting from inside WordPress, but problem when posting from inside WLW.
-
CORRECTION.
There’s no such an error with non English alphabet characters. The estrange signs I see in the first list FeedBlitz presents to me do not appear in the one that subscribers receive.
What I learned before I discovered that and enter WordPress to edit each post having one of those non English characters to type the new ones, is that the whole post adopt the WordPress default even though I don’t touch its text.

In most recent posts formated for Cambria 12, the result affects text bodi paragraph interlines and footer. Nothing happens to header.
In old posts formatted with default font, the result affects text body FONT and paragraph interlines, and also footer.
However, my goal is to affect the text body font ONLY.
I’m bothering you with that again because for reasons I can’t explain –but that are putting stress on me– the daily amount of visits to my blog use to be 2,000 as an average (some days were 3,000) while I still kept it in my domain under b2evolution.
But my host started blocking access to my blog because it caused CPU overload, so I decided to move it to WordPress.com on July 4th…. and immediately the daily visits started to fall down to reach yhe 500 (you can check giving a look to my blog’s stats). Only possible explanation I found being not a tech guy is that I had Google Analytics in my blog under b2evo but I cannot put that in my blog under WP.
Looking in a WP forum I found that a remedy for that is adding a lot of sites’ URL (trackbacks) which will put my posts in the net, but in order for me to do that I have to post from WP directly since WLW has no option to add trackbacks. So, to post from WP and get the font I want I need to buy CSS but with the correct code for Cambria 12 (or maybe 11) Black in the text body ONLY.
-
WLW does do trackbacks – you have to click on the arrow to the right of “set publish date” and it brings up a whole set of advanced options.
As for the bit of CSS code – I have no idea why it worked the first time and doesn’t work now. Perhaps one of the CSS gurus will check in and figure it out for you.
As for blog hits – well, there are a lot of reasons why hits fall. One is simply moving the blog. Your new location is less than 30 days old. It takes time for the search engines to index the blog.
Plus, I notice that your domain name is resolving to http://padronel.wordpress.com/ which makes me think that perhaps you are using some kind of redirection service (as opposed to domain mapping) which creates another whole set of issues. (Check the forums on redirection.)
-
Who was your host so I can avoid them in the future? 3K hits a day should not cause CPU overload. Either they had you on a ridiculously oversold shared server or underpowered server or you had some massively crazy database queries going on. I’m going for the oversold server theory.
Feel free to leave a comment on my blog or email (addy is on my blog).

Kathryn, I’ll just want to share that info with you by email, but even though I could visit your blog I coundn’t find your email address.
-
Excuse me, Vivian, but I have revised WLW and coudn’t find that “Set publish date”. Maybe the problem is that my WLW in in Spanish, something I dislike, but I coulnd’t find either a way to change it to English.
-
Left behind.
And yes, Vivian, you are right: I’m redirecting my blog so that those who use the old b2evo version, still in my Host server, can reach the new WT version.

I know this is not the right place to do what I’m going to ask for, but I haven’t received any answer to my problem, so I’ll try,… and I’ll accept a ‘no’ from you.
I started my blog with WP.com on July 4th after having moved to it –using the services of a tech guy– most of the files under a b2evo program in my domain, where my previous blog was in. (I said ‘most’ because over 2,000 were left behind).
Due to unpleasant experiences I plan to make a full backup of my blog every month, and in preparation to that I installed a WP-2.6 replica –same theme, same structure–in my domain.
Well, I tried to make my first backup today –exporting from WP.com and importing into WP.org– but I found that out of the 7,272 posts I have in WP.com, only 2,200 (a 34.2 MB XML file) arrived to WP.org
Is there any method I can use to replicate in my WP.org backup blog ALL the posts in my WP.com active one?
I post over 50 items per week, so the amount of posts to be exported/imported will increase every month, and I suspect that even today a file containing the 7,272 posts would be heavier than the 64 MB that WP.org allows to import.
