Font size and style suddenly changed in PressRow by Chris Pearson
-
I am using the Press Row template, and right after I made my last update (I edited my most current entry), the font mysteriously changed on my blog. The font size also shrunk to a point where I can’t even read some of the text. In addition to that, the entry that I edited is in all green font, while the rest of the entries are in black… ???
Take a look to see what I’m talking about –> http://www.dailypaulitics.com
That’s not how Press Row should look at all. This is frustrating me.
Thanks for any help/advice you might be able to offer.

Your blog looks good to me using Firefox 2.1.14. I’m wondering if A) you might have pasted something in from Word (don’t EVER do that, it’s a mess) and deleted it or B) there’s something wrong with your computer.

hmm, maybe it’s a safari issue? I’m using Safari right now, and I asked my friend (who is also on Safari) if my blog looks different, and he said yes. Is that possible?
The only editing I did before this happened was I added two redlasso videos to the end of a post.

Can I get you to go to the entry that’s in green, click over to the HTML tab, and copy all the code in there, then paste it here between backticks?
Backticks are on the same key as the ~, those little ` marks.
So it would be
codeThen I can take a look and see if you’ve got any unclosed tags. Or while you’re in the HTML editor, just click “CLose Tags” button and see if that changes things.

Urgh. I meant it would be Backtick, Code, Backtick. Duh. I haven’t had any coffee today.

Thank you very much… I had a random open code tag right in the beginning of the blog post. I guess that caused the whole blog to look like HTML code. I didn’t even notice it.
Thanks again, I appreciate it.

I see the green in IE7 and that you’re hotlinking the Russert photo. It would be much better to upload it to your own space.
-
EEK! No hotlinking without permission, please!
The new WP uploader makes it look like you’re uploading a web image, when really you’re just hotlinking it. I wish they’d change that.

It is, because old-fashioned hosts still charge people for bandwidth. I had a friend whose blog was scraped on Friday night, some Korean site hotlinked all her images, and by the Monday after the weekend, she owed them $15,000 for bandwidth. Fortunately, on appeal the host waived the fee and killed the hotlinking.
-
And not only is it extremely bad form, there’s no reason to do it. You have plenty of free space and bandwidth here to host your own images.

So then it’s not an issue of copyright laws? Because if that was the case, what would be the difference between hotlinking an AP photo or saving the AP photo to my computer and then uploading it to my WordPress account?

And since you used AP as an example, their policies and procedures for permission are pretty well spelled out:
