Thank you all for being so patient. I'm happy to be able to tell you that links and photos are working again! Woo Hoo!!!!!
Now, the only thing that is slightly different is IF you are using the html from photobucket or flickr (rather than inserting a photo link), you'll need to push the source button before you add the entry. When you preview your entry, you will only see the code, but it should post just fine in the entry.
Also I'm really happy to tell you that you can now safely edit your templates without using your javascript functions. Yippee! Maybe my template won't be off-center forever after all. Or maybe it will be. I'm starting to get used to it....
However, our webmaster has asked that you all let him know what scripts you all use in your templates so that he can compile a "whitelist" of approved scripts which will give us maximum functionality with minimum risk. So, if you will, look in your templates and then email me with your blog url (like www.HomesteadBlogger.com/HSBFrontPorch) and the code for the scripts that you use, I'll pass those along to him.
I know he already has:
- Google Analytics
- Disable right click (dynamic drive)
- Disable text selection (dynamic drive)
- Sitemeter
- StatCounter
- Daily Blessing
- And http://resourceshop.net/corner_banners.html
Just be sure to give us your blog url so that he can *see* how the script works on the blog.
Thanks for all of your patience. We really are doing our best to keep you all informed of what is going on here. But we always need your help to know how the site is functioning with the variances in browsers and programs, sometimes we don't *see* the same things you all do. If you have trouble, email me and then I'll pass along the information to our webteam so that we can get an answer. Just always remember to give us your blog URL so we can check the problems ourselves.
Also, I tried copy and pasting from a Word document onto my personal blog and it worked just fine no kinks at all.
Here's what our webmaster said about that though. "The Word "clean up box" only works on certain types of Word documents. What you might try doing first is clicking "cancel" in the "do you want
to clean it up?" box. This should allow newer versions of Words' code to be pasted with no problems.
In some situations the code after it's passed throug this "clean up Word code" process is a significant improvement. Sometimes it isn't. If it doesn't work one way, try the other."
Hope this helps answer many of your questions and leads to much more happy homesteadblogging!
