Q: I embedded a YouTube video or ShowIt video (or something else) and my blog broke and is all messed up. What happened and how can I fix it?

A: Sometimes when you embed a YouTube video or occasionally something else (I’ve seen it happen with a ShowIt slideshow, although these usually work just fine) your whole blog “breaks” the text flows off to the side and onto your background.

This is caused by WordPress’ visual editor interacting poorly with YouTube (or ShowIt) embed code. To fix it, recreate your post. Click on “code editor” when you are ready to paste in your embed code. In the code editor, paste the code and save or publish the post FROM WITHIN THE CODE EDITOR. Do not go back to the visual editor after you’ve pasted the code in. It should work now.

Do not edit this post once it is working, as this will open it up in the visual editor and corrupt the code.

P.S. I think this is less of a problem with WordPress 2.5

If your blog looks something like this:

The problem you’re having with the masthead image and the bio is because you’ve run out of room for your list of links, to fix that:

1. shrink your font-size,
2. shrink the space between the links, or
3. shorten the link text (e.g. “Website” instead of “My Really Long Website Title “)
4. some combination of the above

to shrink font size, edit line #81 of style.css, which looks like this:

#ppt_topnav li a {
font-size: 16px; /* font size of top links */
}
to change space between links, edit line #204, which looks like this:

#ppt_topnav li {
margin-right: 25px;
}
