Hi Albert,

This particular problem is related to the fluid-style layout. But I think we can fix it with some css.

Try adding this css to your blog and check if it fixes the problem:

#tpc_thread .comment-data{ width: 100%; }

I don't think it should cause any other adverse effects.

Hi Albert,

This is on our radar and we're planning to fix it in the future. Sorry for the frustration in the meantime!

Hi Krista,

If you briefly set your newest post to "draft" so it doesn't show up, does the problem disappear?

I think this is a feature in the journal theme you're using. To remove it, try this in your custom css:

.entry-content p{ text-indent: 0; }

Hi Drew,

Does dreamhost give you the opportunity to view the detailed error logs for your server? There might be more information there.

Thanks for trying that out for me, I'm looking deeper into it now. – Nick O'Neill, on March 30, 2009 18:31

Hi Stephen,

I'm not completely sure what's going on so I've forwarded the issue to someone who can take a closer look at it. In the meantime, can you check if you can sign in to everything.typepad.com with the same openid and check if you can sign in to either of those sites with another openid? Say, your non-delegated myopenid url?

Hi Ben,

I'm noticing some weirdness with the behavior of the page when the Shelfari widget loads on the left. Can you try removing this widget and check if the error still occurs?

Do you see text on hueniverse.com that says "You're currently signed in as ... Not you? Sign out." and no comment form below it? Or nothing at all in the comment space?

Stephen,

I was able to log in to comment on that blog with a couple openid accounts from around the web. What service provides your openid account?

Hi Stephen,

There doesn't seem to be a website at the address you specified. Could you check it and make sure it's correct?

Hi Cosmo,

Two classic A List Apart articles would probably help you here. Here are the origins of some rollover techniques which you should be familiar with:

And when you're done with that, some more complex ideas are here:

However, if you're just interested in the quick-and-dirty solution, those exist as well:

A comment on the question "JavaScript in Notes TypeList no longer works" in Six Apart:

The [script] and [/script] tags do look suspect but the rest of it seems valid. You could try substituting [script] and [/script] with <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> and see if that fixes the issue. – Nick O'Neill, on March 02, 2009 17:00

A comment on the idea "Convert to Advanced Template" in Six Apart:

Thanks Zoile! They do make sense, and we'll take them into consideration when thinking about how we can improve drag and drop designs in the future. – Nick O'Neill, on February 20, 2009 00:26

Hi Zoile,

What kind of changes are you having to turn to advanced templates to make? I'd be great to know the minor changes for which people require advanced templates so that we can build these options into the basic templates.

Nick O'Neill replied on February 05, 2009 17:30 to the question "How do I do 301 redirects in TypePad?" in Six Apart:

Hi Philip,

Let's see if I have this correct:
You have a blog at myblogdomain.com which you want to move to TypePad with domain mapping so it shows up at the same domain. You have a few posts on your old blog (myblogdomain.com/this_is_a_post.html, for example) which you'd like to redirect to the new TypePad link (myblogdomain.com/2008/06/this-is-a-post.html, for example).

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the TypePad file manager to create html files at the locations of your old posts with meta redirect tags that point to the new location. You'd have to create a new html file for each post url you want to redirect.

According to this site, both google and yahoo will accept a meta redirect with zero delay as equivalent to a 301 redirect, which will make sure that these search engines follow your links to their new (hopefully permanent!) locations on your TypePad blog.

I've glossed over a lot of the details here, so please let me know if this is sufficient or if you need some additional help!
