And… We’re Back.

Logic High Blog has been having some trouble recently, but now that I’ve got everything strapped down, and re-situated at a rocking new host all the old links have been restored and you can expect new posts and information here, for everything that has to do with Kevin Lohman, BadPirate, or Logic High Software.

Change font size, style and color in Wordpress posts

I was looking around wordpress.com today because for SOME easy way to make posts with more entertaining fonts and styles.  Also, it needed to be easy enough for a end using client to use.  There was a short discussion, and a corresponding FAQ on the wordpress.com website, but all the options they offered were expensive, difficult for non web programmers, or intermittent (Pasting from word only seemed to work sometimes, and requires you to use M$oft products).

I was thinking, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just use the editor in g-mail.  And as it turns out:

That Works Perfectly.

Right down to the emoticons.  It doesn’t have EVERY font available, but only the ones that tend to be safe for use in all browsers.  In order to use it, type your intitial wordpress post as an e-mail, then when you are finished, copy the whole thing, and paste it into a wordpress entry. Once you are done, you can use the wordpress.com editor to make any changes (like adding images) that you weren’t able to do in the g-mail editor.  WHOOPIE!

I hope this works for your problem as well as it worked for mine.  Happy blogging.

Can't seem to stay put

I met Matt the other day, and he was kind enough to sit down and give a quick demonstration of the power and ease which his product (Wordpress) brings to personal online publishing.  And it’s a hell of a lot easier and more capable then using iWeb to publish to a folder and then syncing with a remote web server.  So here’s to Matt, thanks for coming out to Hawaii and showing us the light; may we all strike it rich following our dreams.
