When including links in the comments on this site – - please try to include them in html format like this:
Placing long URLs into the comments seems to disrupt the format of the site — pushing the body content over to the right. I have to edit at least 5-10 comments per day because of this.
I appreciate your cooperation! 
Update: Did a little research and was able to add buttons to the comments area. To use them – just highlight the words you wish to use the tag on and then click the button. Easy cheesey!
Sorry Lisa.
Not looking for an apology, PCD – - just wanted to put that format up there in case people didn’t know how to do it
Had the same issue but fortunately some wonderful pLog developer came out with a BBCode plugin, complete with a nice little button set, to make it nice and easy for people – nudge the WP people a bit, there’s a BBCode plugin for WP that might help a bit….. it’s not quite as user friendly as the one for pLog, but it’s something
So that was what was happenening? I knew I wasn’t going crazy:wink:
Sorry about that, Lisa. I was wondering whether or not it was that code, but it’s been awhile, admittedly…
Just testing this new comments function.
Testing.

Thanks LisaS!
thanks! i was a frequent site format disrupter.
i don’t understand the formatting problem, so bear with me or repeat it for the illiterate, pls.
shiloh, you have also been a frequent formatting abuser. what happens is this: you copy and past a long link here in comments, and it causes the “recent comments” box on the left to spread WAY out, making the rest of the site shift. so, when you post a link, highlight it, and click that “link” button above the box.
i wondered why that happened. let me get this straight. i paste the link in this box, highlite it and push ‘link’. correct?
Shiloh – what you do is type the words that you want linked. For instance, you can paste the title of the article in this box, then highlight that text with your mouse, then click the link button above – - it will pop open a box that you can type the URL into.
Doing this will format the links so that it doesn’t disrupt the format of the whole page.
actually, you type a word and then click link and paste in the URL there.

i heard of a great way to show your support for your candidate.
democrats will drive with their car lites on during the day & republicans will drive with their lites off at nite.
stand up for what u believe!
huh?
a little joke. i refuse to use the emoting faces, which has got me into trouble before – but i thought that one was a given.
yes, fine, but totally irrelevant to the whole comments thing.
sorry K – didn’t mean to try & be lighthearted.
shiloh – np. what exactly do you do? are you a commercial pilot? just curious.
dispatcher. i do the flite plans and the weather and have 50% of the responsibility for the safety of the flite.
i’m the one who cancels and delays the flights that you yell at the ticket counter ppl about.
fortunately i’m no where near the airport so u can’t get at me.
that sounds pretty cool. do you work for a specific airline, or the boseman airport
?
if we are being lighthearted today…
i live and work in Billings and work for an airline.
Billings ain’t too bad but all in all i’d rather be in Kalispell.
are you jeopordizing airline safety now as you post stuff?
i know where all my flite’s are to the minute by glancing at the ‘flite-tracker screen-i’m aware of what the weather is at all downline stations and know to the minute when they land and depart.
i know how much time each pilot as flown in 24 hours.
i can also walk and chew gum with injurying myself and others.
but it was a fair question, K.
just keepin’ ya honest, shiloh.
so what’s the news today in the land of the libs?
yes K – making fun of Mrs Kerry is always funny.
Mrs. Bush ran stop sign in fatal crash
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Details in a 1963 accident report say that Laura Bush, then 17, ran a stop sign in the Texas crash that killed a friend in another car. The report, adding information to previous reports of the crash, was released to The Associated Press on Wednesday
now i tried to link the above. now i think i’ve got it. not meant to be lighthearted.

i am trying to post the link and it wont work
Oh lord, it wasn’t bad enough that President Bush and Senator Kerry’s ancient history was the top news, now we have to hear about what Mrs. Bush was doing 30 years ago.
news
you obviously didn’t look at all of the pictures- there was only one of THK.
so, laura bush is not perfect, is that your point?
karma for what i get from these boxes, Zelda.
the sleaze is popular here and i’ve decided to play on the same ground if that’s what passes as “opinion” or conversations on “issues”.
i agree it’s a waste of time – but character assasination should be bi-partisan.
so what if she ran a stop sign when she was 17???? i guess i don’t get it?????
K – i don’t get it either when folks mock Mrs Kerry in order to attack Mr Kerry.
what i posted was bullshit and so is everything posted in the realm of character assasination.
on both sides.
they want to swift boat Kerry back to vietnam when he was 22 or whatever and Laura is somehow out of bounds – but not Mrs Kerry?
i can trash as well as the right. i just see no point and it makes me sad.
i did not trash THK- i only posted what she herself said. she can trash herself. and kerry is the one who “served this country as a young man, and will serve it as president.” he, if i recall, said he was “reporting for duty.” he is the one who based his campaign on vietnam and not his time in the senate.
god, i can’t wait for nov 2. this is getting really long and tiresome.
Re: #29, that would be more than 40 years ago, Zelda, but I know what you’re saying.
On topic, this is a great upgrade. Is a box/block text button coming?
K – consider yourself shook.
i agree – i an’t wait for the election – i don’t even watch cable news anymore.
there’s an interesting theory, tho, of how the economy really works and it goes a little like this:
watch the news – u see murder, hatred, war, blood;
cut to commercial – buy the Accura & the mouthwash, if you have bad breath the girls won’t date u – if u have pimples the girls won’t f–k you.
fear and consumption is the theory.
distract your fears with enough stuff and you’ll live a happy life.
Okay, 40 years. If we’re going to bring up Laura Bush, why not Neil Bush? Also, how about George H. W. Bush’s link to the Bay of Pigs?
Go Zelda ! & Prescott Bush’s ties to the Nazis.
forget the war and unemployment and health care and poverty – lets just keep sayin’ “he’s just a traitor and a coward and was awol and snorted coke”
that’ll elevate the debate.
The Onion
“Organizers Fear Terrorist Attacks On Upcoming Al-Qaeda Convention”
Fears of possible terrorist attacks have led organizers of the Sept. 27-30 Convention to take unprecidented security measures.
“This year’s convention will see longer lines and more comprehensive searches [of] prospective martyrs”
-al-Qaeda chairman and convention oranizer Khalil al-Hamada
“[W]e will not allow terror to blunt our resolve or dictate our message”
I got this from The Onion on campus today. It talks about the precautions these terrorists are taking and the new technology be displayed. It goes on to say that Zell Miller is the keynote speaker on Friday when it opens.
real funny guys. This is not the things I want to be handed.
you must be at madison…
Z, you went from 29 to 30. Oops!
I was pointing out just how far back some people want to go to get some dirt on someone. Not just 30 years, but 40 years. And it’s not like this stuff wasn’t brought up during the 2000 election.
More of the same: Throw enough crap and something’s bound to stick. It just has to!
I definitely like the tag buttons better.
What makes me sad is the state of denial you clearly are in. You trash Bush every chance you get, and insist that it’s factual and we have to listen, that we have no choice but to acknowledge it and declare that you are right without question.
Yet according to you, we have to question the Bush family. We can’t choose to, according to you — we have to, else we be shunned as “ignorant” by the standards of you, Moore and others.
And this is not trashing?
You’ve been doing this for some time, hence the reason there’s no point in paying attention to you. And if you do not see it as trashing, you are simply a believer of your own self-fabrications.
