NicEdit Linebreak Issue - How to fix it

... published February 12, 2008

NicEdit - Micro Inline WYSIWYGA lot of bloggers decided to use NicEdit to give their commentors a WYSIWYG editor to style the comment if needed.

NicEdit is a very slim JavaScript WYSIWYG editor which works break, except that some of us bloggers, like Matt at Webmaster-Source, Michael at ProBlogDesign or I myself, experience an odd error when it comes to simple linebreaks inserted by the editor itself.

If you use <br /> on your own, it will work properly. But who uses it if he or she has such a nice editor?

About a month ago I posted the issue on the NicEdit forum and got a reply which told me how to fix it. The author’s forum name of this fix is ihsan and I asked him for his ok about publishing the fix on my blog.

So far he did not reply, so I just go ahead and share it. Full credit for this fix goes to ihsan:

Everyone is getting Twitter…so do I

TwitterAs I watch the blogosphere I see more and more people using Twitter.

I decided to wait a bit for jumping onto the wagon and getting an own Twitter account. So here I am, with my very own Twitter account.

I will see how much I’ll use it and if it is worth keeping it, at least for me that is ;)

So bear with me and feel free to give me Twitter tips or at least share your thoughts. Of course you are also welcome to follow me.

P.S: I also added a “Recent Tweet” to the sidebar using the Twitter Tools Plugin.

Finds of the Month January 2008

... published February 8, 2008

I know such a link list should be posted on the last day of the month but as some things didn’t go like I planned I have to publish it now.
Well, I see it this way: Better late then never.
Especially as this is one of my many ideas to make sure that my blog gets interesting and some times random content ;)

So here we go with my Finds of the Month

First a cold, then a virus - When things go against your plans.

... published February 7, 2008

After not being bothered by a cold in the last 2 or 3 years it finally caught me again.
About 3 weeks ago I had the first signs and went to the doc to make sure I get well again as soon as possible.

As a result I had to stay at home and in bed. So I missed school for a week and I hadn’t the chance to take care of my blog.

After a week or so I felt well enough and thought about leaving a message on here, unfortunately I saw that I somehow managed to get a computer virus…which forced me to stay offline for another week.

Then I had no real time to write a proper post, but at the end I got the chance to write this message.

Well, now I have to see that I catch up with my original plan, not to mention that I have to update wordpress…
