Reading...
Anyone who can find this blog can read it, although it is not advertised in any way, therefore is very much lost among the 17MM+ blogs on the web. It is not even available to Google and other search engines. If we want, we can probably mask it further so that it can only be viewed by those with an established username and password (which is now required to "post" things up). But I believe such deep masking to be unnecessary.
To change text size simply adjust with your browser (e.g. "view," "text size", "largest ... smallest").
Comments...
If you are leaving short comments in this or any other blog, you can just type them in the provided window, remembering to leave a name and email address (whether real or fictitious). It’s that simple. If you don't see a window at the bottom of a "post" click on "permalink" or "comments."
Posts: Commentary from those allowed to post-up initial information that comment threads tier from...
Here are some hints for those allowed to "post"
- Once you get through the TypePad entry portal, available from sidebar, simply cut and paste material from a word document, add a title, some categories and you are good to go. If you need more help you can go to the TypePad’s "Posting to your weblog."
- Always compose your "post" in a word processor. Otherwise you risk losing it all during input/edits, etc. I recommend that you develop your post in "rich text format."
- Some editing helps are available on the "post" toolbar, for blockquotes, italics, underlining , strike-through, hyperlink creation, attaching documents or images, etc.
Advanced Posting:
If you want to develop long, complex posts you should develop them with a word processor using "rich text format" or save them as RTF files before attempting to post them. When you post this way you'll likely have to do some reformatting using the TypePad tool bar, else switch to "edit HTML" and add HTML codes directly.
Alternatively you can reconfigure the post entry window to avoid the hassle of RTF files. This is a particularly good option is you are familiar with html codes.
Here's how you reconfigure the post entry window: Go to TypePad's post entry area, look to the bottom of the page and click on "Customize the display for this post." Select the "plain text" mode, particularly if you use MS Word with other then RTF. Otherwise MS will load up the resultant TypePad input file with stuff that you don’t see in MS Word documents and at the very least clutter the TypePad system with garbage.
In addition TypePad may, on longer documents, flip you into HTML edit mode and unless you understand HTML codes you’ll be lost. Worse, if you try things to get back to WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get, i.e. "rich text" mode), you may lose your input.
While you are in "Customize the display for this post," you may want to scroll down and select "Extended Post" under "Post Screen Configuration"—which will allow you to break longer posts into a "post introduction" that people will see automatically and "post continuation" which is a click away for casual readers.
