Working with some third party software I came across this line in the source.

Sry I have to say that but I wrote a nice article (I think) but gave up on publishing it since formatting it is a HELL in the online editor and I'm not brave enough to try the new one since it sucked all my energy out of me

It's so freeking annoying to paste code and it spaces over over the whole block and so on, it consumes almost the same time as writing the article itself but thanks for suggesting asking for help

Hi Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter,
I have use the new editor to publish my new article and you were 100% right that it is better.

Nice article

I write all my articles offline and use email submission. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Hi,
I wrote my article offline but in Open Office and exported it as a .Pdf , but perhaps its an idea to just send it by email

You can download the skeleton article and build it offline using that, then submit as a Zip file. Takes a bit longer to get published but it tends to work.

I know I'm archaic, but I write all my articles in FrontPage and just paste the HTML into the online editor. At most, I use it to add "code" tags.

Hi Mark,
FrontPage sounds familiar but no clue what it was except something from MS in the past I think

Quite so. It used to be the way people published static web pages. I still like it as an article editor because of it's split view (HTML / text) but there's more modern editors that do the same thing.

Sorry I just had to vent. I used to do some contract work for a web video company* and they hired this graphic artist to put a new face on their web site. Needless to say she couldn't do simple things like add a video to the page, something essential for a web video company to have, so I would have to wade through tons of really crap code to find where I could add the control.

Did I mention that I hate Frontpage.

I don't like the online editor either (though to be fair I haven't written an article for long enough it is probably better now), so I write the article as plain HTML in a text editor (Notepad++, these days) and then paste it in.
|
|
|
|

I agree. I would rather use NotePad to edit the raw HTML.
I'd be surprised if anyone used it for anything longer than a paragraph.

Hi,
You know HTML5 has these <Article></Article> tags and so on... I think it would be faster to write an article that way

All my articles have been written entirely* with Notepad.
* Excepting that the code wasn't written in Notepad; however, I do the < and > replacements in Notepad.

H Dave,
Thanks for the Link, I downloaded that Offline Editor and have a look at it

If it's any consolation, I still spend more time swearing at the article editor (and repairing the damage it did) than I do writing the articles!
I tend to switch it to HTML mode and use it as a "glorified notepad with a preview button" as it annoys me a lot less that way...

Haha,
I just moved recently to Amsterdam (an apartment block) and this afternoon when I was working with the Editor I was saying words my new neighbours perhaps wouldn't appreciate and possibly could hear ,when I realised that I made myself a cup of coffee and calmed down When the anger again came up I wrote this post

Fortunately, the walls here are 60cm thick and made of granite, so very little gets through them - and certainly no sound!
