Web pages and posts at flat5.net should use the following guidelines.

All CSS style settings are edited in the child’s style.css via the Dashboard via Appearance -> Editor.

Format (twentyeleven) choices

• Standard – “Fast Eddie’s Wisdom” and short posts limited to one to two (1-2) paragraphs containing not more than one image.
• Aside – Side comments with no image and containing less than four (4) short sentences.
• Link – URL and explanatory comment only.
• Gallery – Longer posts with at least one image. For even longer posts, include subsection headers (<h6>header</h6>).
• Status – Two or three (2-3) sentences with no image.
• Quote – Not used. (Use <blockquote> and </blockquote> instead.)
• Image – Not used.

“Fast Eddie’s Wisdom” style

• Set as a “Standard” post but bracket all content with <blockquote> and </blockquote> including images and text.

Videos (Outdated)

1. Use AVS Video Editor 6.X on PC for final production as follows:
   • File -> Produce
   • Device, Next
   • Choose “Apple iPod – (H.264, 640×480)”
   • Settings and choices after that are obvious
2. Choose a single frame, capture it as a PNG and, in Paint.net, overlay with a top-most “Click To Play” and, beneath that, a grey rectangle with partial transparency as a background to that text.
3. Create the new post and upload the video and then the single frame.
4. Preview the new post “as is” and click-through the video title ONE TIME. Hover over the video title in this next frame, right-click it and select “Copy link location” or, alternatively, write down the complete pathname to the *.m4v file, e.g., http://flat5.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/GunShowReport.m4v
5. Edit the HTML so it looks similar to this:
   <a href=”http://flat5.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/GunShowReport.m4v”><img class=”alignnone” src=”http://flat5.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/LastOfItsKind_titleSlide-300×225.png” /></a>
6. If there is little or no accompanying text, post in Standard format, not Gallery.
7. Add “Video” as one of the Tags.
8. Preview the posting on the iPad and also on a PC in both IE and Firefox as well as any other browsers of interest.

Sidebars

• Older displays become cramped with more than one.

Pixel Quotes

• On entry, do not use single or double quotes. Instead, use &rsquo; for the right single quote (and apostrophe), and then &ldquo; and &rdquo; for left and right double quotes. These will display in the quotes area correctly.
• But when edited, they will also display correctly but not be directly editable. If you must change them, remember to use &rsquo; and &ldquo; and &rdquo; so the correct character will be stored (without escape) in the database.
• FYI: Quotes are stored in the wp_options table in pixelquotes_settings but editing directly therein (via phpAdmin) is not recommended as it appears to contain a length as well as other mystery fields.
