css and pages

    Actually devblog shows you a method a couple of posts up where you can declair new classes within your content. You would need the css upgrade to add in that css though to make it mean something and yes, it’s for a single year at a time.

    The example that claudecf is refereing to uses inline styles. In other words:

    You can do this in a page/post:

    <div style="whatever-you want-here">blah blah blah</div>

    You cannot do this in a page/post:

    <style type="text/css">

h1 {color:#f00;}

</style>

<h1>Hello World</h1>

    Nor

    <h1 style="color: #f00;">Hello World</h1>

    AFAIK, for elements other than ps, divs or spans, inline styles won’t work; instead, you’d need to create classes like I told you in my previous post, otherwise, the code will be stripped out by the wp software.

    HTH

    Edit:
    Forgot to tell you, the CSS upgrade is per blog, not per account.

    do i need to purchase the css upgrade yes or no?
    is it only for 1 year?
    and can i use the css upgrade for all my blogs into my account.

    (1) Yes you need to purchase the upgrade to make the changes you see in preview visible to your readers of your blog.
    (2) The upgrade costs $15 per year per blog.
    (3) You have to buy an upgrade for each blog and each upgrade only lasts for one year. If you do not renew the css upgrade at the end of the year then the blog(s) reverts to the theme exactly as it was prior to the css editing.

    The real answer is this: A web developer should not be using WP dot com as his primary blog. :) Flame away :)

    i am a web developer but i am new to wordpress blog.
    i am trying to learn its features. i am amazed by its ease of use and
    abundance of reliable and excellent functionality it offers.it is also so much fun. i like its amazing themes and widgets.

    One can download the free standing http://wordpress.org software free of charge and go to town hacking it to suit. On the other hand, wordpress.com blogs on this wp-MU multiuser blogging platform have many restrictions so vis a vis a web development blog, making the wordpress.com blog the primary choice seems strange to me too.

    Why would that be strange? Even if he’s a web developer, why wouldn’t he use a wp.com blog as his primary blog if that’s his choice?

    Besides, it seems that all he wants to do is to change/add some CSS and blog. IMO, there’s no need for him to download his own install just for that.

    OK :) It seems this is sorted now, right?

    thanks a lot for your input.

    i will purchase css upgrade and take it from there. i do not understand the critic for me using a wordpress blog. i work as a seminar instructor delivering seminars on asp.net(c#,vb 2005),windows development,javascript,css.i need to exchange views with people who attend the seminars. i also work as a web developer. i am hugely busy. i do not to want to start developing a blog on my own. and i do not want to download th e code from wordpress and hack it. it is php first of all and i do not see the reason why i should do that.people should answer the question and do not bother themselves what i should or not. and what was this comment for liverpool. out of place i thought.

    thanks anyway
