Creating and Editing Posts — Tips and Techniques There are two major topics that will be discussed: • General WordPress Editing • The Bridge Tools The tips and techniques discussed under General WordPress Editing apply whether or not you use the Bridge Tools. General WordPress Editing You are welcome to use either the Visual or HTML editors or even switch back and forth, but this article is about using the Visual Editor. By the way, using the HTML editor does not stop WordPress from filtering the post as it is being saved. We have made changes that cause, to an extent, what you enter into the Visual Editor (from now on we’ll just call it the “editor”) to be displayed the same way in the editor as it will be when your post is viewed by visitors to the site. The Bridge Author's Template is a Microsoft WORD template (in Microsoft-terminology, a document template) that simplifies the task of writing a bridge article or book. It catches most. (a) The Insert Menu offers items that set up hand and bidding layouts for standard presentation of play and bidding problems. (b) The Tools. Buy Bridge - Creative Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme by QODE on ThemeForest. Modular Contact Page – BRIDGE comes with a predefined contact page template. If you notice any irritating discrepancies, please let us know and we will attempt to address them (it may or may not be feasible). At the top of the editor window (which we often call the “editor window pane” or “edit pane” for short), there are editor tool-bars. These contain buttons you can click on to perform various functions while composing your posts. If you move the mouse pointer over one of these buttons and leave it there momentarily, you will see a “hint” displayed. The hint tells you what clicking the button does. Some also show a keyboard shortcut in parentheses — some of these shortcuts work, others do not. You will see two or four rows (“tool-bars”) of buttons as illustrated below: Whether you see two or four tool-bars can be changed by clicking on the button at the extreme right of the top tool-bar — the hint is “Show/Hide Kitchen Sink” (the authors have a sense of humor). Think of the two tool-bar configuration as showing basic editing tools and the four tool-bar configuration as simply providing extra editing tools. Notice the top and bottom tool-bars remain the same. The “Bridge Tools” comprise the bottom tool-bar. Paragraphs and Line-Breaks Start a new paragraph: Just press the Enter key (also known as the Return key), the editor will start a new paragraph. Pressing it more than once causes empty paragraphs to be inserted (they are not really “empty” but contain a single “non-breaking space”). Note that there is some space between paragraphs. This is the “style” we use for bridgeblogging.com. Start a new line: Hold down the Shift key wile pressing the Enter key. This does not start a new paragraph, but just a new line in the same paragraph. There is no additional space between lines. There is a catch though. You cannot create lots of empty space by using multiple line breaks without entering any text on the new lines. What will happen is that they all get converted into a single new paragraph when you save the post. So you might see the space for a while, but it will change. Inserting the Suit Symbols Power-users can type the initial letter of the suit, enclosed in square brackets, to get the suit symbols. ( ♠, ♥, ♦, ♣.) They will always appear that way in the editor (so this is an example of not seeing something the way visitors will). The rest of us can simply use the mouse and click on the suit symbols that can be seen in the editor’s “tool-bars” (these are part of the Bridge Tools). Styled Text — Modifying In or Around It The insertion point (the cursor position where you can type text or insert things) acts much like it does in various other editors such as Microsoft Word. Sometimes people find this behavior confusing as typing text in the same apparent cursor position may have different results.
