    Hi all,

    I'm in the process of developing the framework for my organization's website: owntheboards.org.

    Here's my problem. I currently use Articles to set up the blog portion of the site, and the content of my test posts doesn't follow my css parameters, instead overflowing out of the divs and off the screen. It does this both on the main page, using my ArticleRowTpl, and in the actual post itself, using another template. The overflow is limited specifically to the [[*content]] sections. I've tried including individual css parameters for related divs (.blog-post and .entry, for instance), to no avail.

    Any suggestions?

    I currently use Revo 2.3.1 and Articles 1.7.8pl

    Thanks,
    Laura

        Also be aware that using 1000000000 m's isnt going to result in a true rendering of content, websites need real words and spaces to work so that it understands where to wrap words onto the next line, try using lorem ipsum instead for dummy content ;o)

          Working on the validation errors. And Paulp, changing the dummy content to real words fixed it.

          Thank you all so much. I'm learning this stuff on the fly - I'm a writing instructor and literary scholar by trade - so your nudges in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

          • You'll do fine. I was a housewife and grandmother by trade when I finally got my hands on a computer and began teaching myself how to program it.
