I’ve had problem getting the layout of the blog using the “visual” editor here in WordPress. So I’ve switched to the “code” editor, which means that I write in basic HTML. And believe me, it’s very basic HTML.
One of the things I had to learn to to was how to put in a table which holds the photo in the top right hand corner. But there is a fair bit of typing in it.
Enter texter from Lifehacker. I love this little application. For my blog posts, I now create strings of text and save them in texter. I just type “tabl” and hit Tab, and the full html code is automatically inserted. I put in the image, then type “tabl2″ and hit Tab and the next section of html is inserted, and then I type the “Photo by:” link. Finally “tabl3″ and Tab and the table code is ended.
I’ve also used this for a weekly email I used to send to friends when I was living in Costa Rica, and it had all my contact details, phone numbers, addresses and links and they went onto the bottom of the email just by typing “endbit”. It’s perfect for anything you find yourself typing reptitively.
