Hey, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I need a new blog but I would like something which doesn't require any coding. I don't know HTML or CSS and honestly I don't want to. My brain is code-proof - I just don't get this stuff. Wordpress is driving me completely insane. Is anything like that out there?
Yeah, I don't think it is going to get any more straightforward and simple than wordpress. If you don't use something like wordpress or blogger, then you would probably have to do some coding...
I got a blog linked to my website from wordpress but it was done by the programmer I hired. Few things I wanted to change after he did it and every time I was pointed to piles of CSS codes. Like for example changing the font on my posts to smaller one or changing the color of my titles. Then yesterday I did copy and paste my post from MS word and my whole blog content dissapeared. I was told that I stuffed the code. So I was hoping to find something what doesn't need me to touch any codes or stuff them up Are you telling me there is other way to use wordpress? I was wondering how is it possible that millions of people are using it? It felt like everyone knows HTML and CSS except me
You should never paste content from MS Word or OO Write. You should paste your content either in the thml section of WP editor or in notepad, so that it looses all strange formating and won't brake your blog. After that you can edit it in WP editor to make give it effects like blod, italic, underline etc. I hope this will help you a little.
I know not to touch the word anymore but still I would like to have different size font in the post or change color or have 2 different fonts in one sentence. And all what I can see is bold, italic, underline - the rest IS coding.
You have to change the CSS. Wordpress is about is simple as it gets -- any other blogging platform will be equally, or more technical.
surely you don't want him to do that when all he need is There's 2 options to help you here 1. install Windows Live Writer or any similar blog publishing program.. WLW happens to be the best IMO 2. install TinyMCE advanced to turn your Create Post page to this: Download TinyMCE Advanced here: http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/tinymce-advanced/
