A Quick And Simple Blog Design Tip

Writing by Brick Marketing on Friday, 30 of May , 2008 at 6:12 am

Sometimes you discover thing by trial and error, at other times you read someone else’s tip and think - so simple. While writing an article elsewhere I wanted a particular effect in blog design that would enable a bullet point yet follow on with the associated text. Here is what normally happens:

• Blog Design Tip Here: either the follow on text appears here:

or the follow on text appears here.If you press enter after the first line of text you get another bullet. Turn the bullet of and you get the blank line. The effect I wanted was as follows:

• Blog Design Tip Here:
  with the associated text here which can wrap around for as many lines of text as you need to complete the associated text.
• Next Blog Design Tip Here:
  1 - more associated text here
  2 - and here (these are manual numbers rather than auto)

To achieve this simple but effective blog design effect in WordPress, at the end of the bulleted line of text, use the MS Word trick of holding Shift whilst pressing Enter. It enters a soft return rather than a hard return.

This tip works well for numbered points as well:

1. WordPress Tip
   associated text
2. Another WordPress Tip Here
   a) with more text here
   b) and here

This is simply a case of taking a function from one software package and using it on another. A neat effect for you blog design and a way of providing bullets or numbers that stand out whilst including explanatory text.
