Hi,

My blog is on blogger. And today, I noticed that all my posts have been butchered. The words at the end of each sentence are seperated into different lines. For example a sentence like "This is wonderful" now looks like

"Thi

s is wond

erful"

It was working yesterday so I don't know what changed today. I tried copying the contents of one post from notepad but the problem perists. I usually use "Justify" formatting in word and copy the contents of post into Blogger. Please help as I cannot see my posts being ruined. Cry

Are you preparing content on MS word and copy pasting it in blogger? Are you also using 'justify' alignment?

Yes, on both counts. It used to work earlier. And I tried to copy from notepad and then paste it to Blogger. But it's still the same.

It looks like a problem with Blogger's dynamic views. I created a test blog and posted some content. I was able to reproduce the problem mentioned by you.

I saw a few other blogs using dynamic views having the same problem!

May be you should shift to a normal template till the problem is fixed or someone provides a solution! Undecided

I used to have a normal template before but I shifted to dynamic temlates because large images don't overlap on sidebars in dynamic views. I guess I need to change my template againFrown

i think you can adjust images sizes so that they dont over lap

You can change that overlapping image problem in the following way :

Go To Template -> Customise -> Advanced -> Add CSS

Append the following to the contents of the text box and click Save.

.post img {

max-width:100% !important

}

Ranjith: Thanks for that tip. Will try doing it with another template. I googled a little on Dynamic views on blogger and looks like it has a few drawbacks :(

I think this is a temporary problem with blogger. It gets corrected itself. Initially, I used to type the entire content on blogger itself, but requirements of formatting + need to have an offline copy of my post forced me to use MS Word. So, I've been using that for quite some time now. I too encountered such issues where the content and formatting would mess itself up after publishing the content. But, trying to get it done again and again gets it done.

Changed the blog template to Awesome Inc one. Sigh! Any good sites where I can download free templates for Personal blog ?

Ranjith

Try http://btemplates.com/. Personally, I prefer using one of the default blogger themes and customizing colors, backgrounds, logo, font etc. The advantage is that if you have any problem with your template or want to do some modifications, others will be able to help you easily. Also, if you search for any blogger template related help on Goodle, most of search results provide solutions for default templates.

Thanks Ranjith and ND. I applied Awesome Inc template and adjusted the width of the Main post section. Looks Ok for now. I can breathe a sigh of relief! Thanks :)
