The Html/Javascript Page Element Is Better!
At first I chose some Text Page Elements for my information at the top of the blog, but I have since changed it to an HTML/JAVASCRIPT Page Element. For some reason, both require line breaks in order to separate the text into paragraphs. Fair enough, I can do that. But the Text element loses those line breaks every time you return to do some editing, and that's crappy.
So if you had paragraphs or any kind of one-line-at-a-time "grocery list", you'd have to revamp the post to restore it to what you started with! Not hard, just time-consuming!
Text page elements are only good for a straightforward paragraph of information or for some other kind of information that you don't have to edit often.
In the HTML page element, nothing changes or is lost, and you can just edit what you meant to without a lot of special revamping. This is important to a ceaseless reviser like me--I often re-edit!
It is misleading to all users that we are able to put HTML into a Text page element when it's so problematic to do so! And there should have been a warning about this difficulty with making paragraphs. Anyway, fair warning from me!

Hi Ron,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 10 minutes of exercise and for commenting in my post My first grandchild at his first grandfather's birthday gathering. As per your comment, I have added a mugshot to my blogs like Blogger Tips and Tricks, at the bottom of the left sidebar. Tell me what you think of the mugshot. Is it suitable? Should I show a more serious face for a more serious blog?
I think you should do the same thing too. Do 10 mins. of exercise for this comment.

Not EXERCISE! Good mugshot, though! Live long and prosper.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post - I've been redoing my work all darn day because of this. It's great to know that if I change the page element type this headache will go away!
