Blogging via MS Word 2007

Tuesday 10th July, 2007 ~ 4.41pm BST by Pandammonium

I tend to use LaTeX these days for word-processing (or type-setting documents, as the Latex [do you really think I can be bothered typing it out all fancy-like every time?] people would have it) because Word always annoys me and I can’t be doing with working out how to do IPA in it, but I’ve now got my hands on Word 2007, which seems happy to do blog posts for you. This may be better or worse than using the WordPress interface, but you never know.

But now, it’s ever-so-late, so I think, as Zebedee says, it’s time for bed.

Oh, I’ve just had a thought: Word is infamous for producing bloated and non-standard HTML; is it going to do the same with XHTML in my blog?

Strict

Friday 2nd February, 2007 ~ 10.34am GMT by Pandammonium

Of course, being so annoyingly pedantic and having to obey the rules and whatnot, my site is XHTML strict, which is a problem when you’ve went and done external links on your blog, which was originally XHTML Transitional, as target="_blank". Now none of the pages with such links on pass the validator, so I’ll have to change them all if I want it to be correct, which of course, I do. That’ll take forever, of course. If you happen to spot any of these, you could help me by telling me via my contact form (link in the main menu).

There are also some <div> tags which are not properly aligned. Ho hum.

And there’s a problem with the WordPress footer.

Update: the problems mentioned above are now fixed.

Next WebCam step…

…is to convert the Transitional XHTML into Strict XHTML.
