I try to avoid working on my website as much as possible now, because it's such a frustrating exercise, every single time I do.
Have just spent the better part of a day trying to create a simple blog page, get it to load and stay on the website... I paste it in. Then reformat it (because sitepad doesn't like the format of anything you paste, from anywhere. But you have to write it somewhere else in case you suddenly lose everything - again). Then I save it, update it, then try to publish it. The Little pop up says its done publishing. Then when the website is checked... Nothing - again. Is this common? https://foundationchiropractor.com.au/blog.html Thank you. ----------------------- Using sitepad to build and self-manage my own business website. Certainly not a Pro. |

When I looked at the HTML code of Neurostructural beautiful website, I saw a lot of HTML code between the lines.

<p> </p> <p>Successful?</p> <p> </p> <p>This didn’t really feel</p> I thought you could do with less, right? And indeed if you use the following trick you get less work and less HTML code (and therefore faster page building). The trick is as follows. Create a new file in LibreOffice and save it as an HTML file (the name doesn't matter, the HTML formatting is most important). Write or paste your text into this file. With a new line you do not use Enter or Return, but enter a break to insert a new line by pressing the key combination Shift-Enter or Shift-Return. When you've written all the text and formatted it with blank lines between the text, select all the text with Control-A and copy it with Control-C. Now if you go to a Rich Text Widget in SitePad in the What You See Is What You Get mode you can suffice with Control-V and in one step you have an HTML paragraph with text separated by empty lines with the HTML Break (<br >) code in one paragraph (between the HTML code <p>.....<br><br>....</p>).

<br> <br> Successful? <br> <br> This didn’t really feel</p> Is this trick also working: https://foundationchiropractor.com.au/blog.html from LibreOffice? And the answer is: Yes an HTML hyperlink created with Control-K in LibreOffice can just be copied directly into SitePad with Control-V. As a frugal Dutchman I can say that both LibreOffice and BlueGriffon HTML editors don't cost a cent, but are a lot less hassle |
