Earlier today I was asked about this, so I thought I’d share it with you all. Is it possible to paste from Word to WordPress without the typical formatting mess? The answer is yes. Here’s how.
While you’re in the WordPress post editor, click the button labeled “Show/Hide Kitchen Sink.” You will then see a button labeled “Paste from Word.” When you click it, a small window will appear. Paste your text inside and click “Insert.” This will insert the text into your post and remove the unnecessary formatting.
“When you hear ‘opportunity for improvement,’ you’re screwed. Euphemistic language clouds meaning and hides the truth. Think ‘economic downturn’ and ‘previously enjoyed’ instead of ‘depression’ and ‘used.’ Or ‘opportunity for improvement’ instead of ‘problem.’
You can’t see problems with your head in the sand.
Promo film for Polaroid’s SX-70, the first instant SLR. The description of how to use it is concise and clear. The explanation of how it works is even better. You’d never see that today.
There’s a post on Fast Company that points out the worst NFL helmet designs and suggests alternatives. As soon as I read it, I knew the 12-year-old football fan inside me had to respond.
Author Ken Carbone lists the Cowboys, Eagles, Rams and Vikings among the best, with the Bengals taking the top spot. I’ve got to disagree with the Bengals. The tiger stripes are cheesy. My favorite is the Seattle Seahawks.
The bird looks like an early Native American woodcut, its furrowed brow makes it look mean and it’s the only NFL logo that wraps around the back of the helmet.
Ken suggests that the Patriots need a redesign as well, and I agree. I think the “Flying John Kerry” they’ve got now would be improved if it wrapped around like the hawk does. Right now, the Pats logo always looks crooked. When seen off of the helmet — a bumper sticker, perhaps — I want to adjust it so that the face’s profile is perpendicular to ground, but that makes the trailing colors seem to hang low. When situated as intended, the face gazes down at the ground, looking defeated. It irks me.
Ken came up with an Easy Rider/Evel Knievel/Captain America design that doesn’t cut it. Yes, it’s a bold alternative and would look cool when painted inside an end zone, but the previous associations are too strong.
Besides, the Pats have a more colonial than contemporary theme. If you can suggest a new Pats design, I’d love to see it.
The worst pro football helmets come from Vince McMahon’s ill-fated XFL. Look at these stinkers.
Horrible. The Demons is the only one that doesn’t look like the logo for an energy drink.
