Content is overflowing its boundaries
-
I have nothing custom on my site, and I’m using a template form that I’ve been using for over a year. There’s no reason for my blog post to suddenly be overflowing over two columns and spilling off the page. What is going on?
The preview page address is: http://kddidit.wordpress.com/?p=13351&preview=true
The post is currently a draft on my blog, A Hodgepodge of Bits & Pieces – Mid-November 2013, and I really need to get it posted ASAP.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you pasting from Word or another Word Processing program? Also sometimes plain editing can mess up the formatting tools
If so stop or use the proper tools

I have answered the question. I am NOT using Word. I AM using Espresso, a WEB EDITING program. The same one I have used successfully for over a year, using a template I created using Espresso, which I have copied and pasted into blog posts for over a year. Again, successfully. Until now. ‘
What are the chances I can get an answer to why it’s overflowing?

As you are copying and pasting from a word processing program you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor Row 2 icon 5 http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”But … but … I used to do this and it doesn’t work now. We know that. These errors can become cumulative so if you have not been doing this up to now then it seems this has come back on you.

If you are not successful then post screenshot, upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it. Then type modlook into the sidebar for Staff help.

Also I have had times when editing a Post with the Visual Editor and I trashed part of the formatting code that messed things up – and that is why the “WordPress should correct errors” suggestion in the answers above.
Espresso seems to be built for standard web sites so there might be some issue with the code restrictions imposed by WordPress.COM
You might just have been lucky for a year

There are offline editors which work well with WordPress.com. Many are free or available for a small fee:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/There are several desktop applications which you can use to write and publish content for your WordPress.com blog, even without being connected to the internet. You may often hear this referred to as “offline editing.”

I went into my Dashboard, did the Settings > Writing > Formatting. Checked the box. Repasted my content into the post. Saved the draft.
wpContentOverflow is the name of the file I uploaded into my library.
Editor-wise, if I go with wp.ORG, can I continue to use the web editing program with which I’m comfortable?

Wait, I did find the Past as Plain Text button under the VIsual button, which I don’t use. I use the Text side of things when posting.

Okay, and that’s why I don’t use Visual. Because I use html coding which had, up to this point, worked just fine.

Great you followed my instructions. Blog on!

Here are details about the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com:
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/But unless you want to deal with any and all problems with plugins and upgrades and your site crashing and coding, WordPress.org involves learning a lot of things you don’t need to know how to fix if you decide to stay with WordPress.com.
The offline editors I mentioned are all very similar to what you would already know about using a wordprocessor.
-
A web editor and a word processor are two different animals.
“Blogging on” doesn’t work, as I’m still having a content overflow problem.
-
Our Staff do not provide support for Espresso.
I would switch to the Visual editor and copy and paste my text into it and blog on, bu if you don’t want to do that that’s your prerogative. Sorry we cannot help. -

That will not solve your problem with Espresso. If it is introducing HTML errors to WordPress.com it will do so with WordPress.org as well, possibly worse because WP.com removes many tags for security reasons and WP.org doesn’t remove any.
-
I am not asking for support with Espresso. Espresso works fine everywhere but here. My problem is with WordPress.
