Overlawyered: Chronicling The High Cost Of Our Legal System

Site housekeeping

* Comments on the main site are still broken, sorry. Update: Comments now working since WordPress changeover.

* Yesterday was one of our biggest Instalanches ever, with about 7,000 Glenn Reynolds readers coming over to visit this post.

* You can see our rapidly evolving WordPress “sandbox” here. One vexing problem we’ll need to fix: most of the posts from guestbloggers are being attributed to the wrong contributors. That problem is evident in this recent post, which was really authored by Jim Copland; the case names don’t render properly either. The posts in the sandbox may accept comments (which may or may not survive in a reconstructed site) but any permalinks are not really permanent and are apt to break soon. Comments about the reconstruction itself are best added to this post. Update: Sandbox removed since WordPress version has gone live.

  • Links aren’t becoming links (if that makes sense), instead it’s displaying the HTML code typed out.

  • The problem lies with the editor being used. You have a choice, Visual (wysiwyg) and Code. With code HTML is translated, but in Visual it is not. When using visual you need to use the buttons to add code to a document. For links you would use the links button.

    You can use HTML itself when using the Visual editor, but you must first click on the HTML button and add the HTML in the window that pops-up. When done you then click on ‘update’ and the code you added is properly translated. As always, Preview is your friend.

    When you can get the TinyMCE Advanced plugin. Adds functionality and options to formatting. I use it, and it’s how I add things such as subscript, superscript, and tables.

  • Thanks for catching that. I didn’t notice the tabbed options and was used to MT’s “what you see isn’t what you get” approach.
