Hello Adam,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I am not particularly sure what issues do you have with the typography. If you can pass us the link to one of the page and elaborate more on the issue, it would be a real help for us to be able to assist you here.

I do think that you also first need to explicitly define a line height for paragraph text by adding the block of css codes below into your template's css file,

.blog-text p {

    padding: 8px 0;

    line-height: 150%;

}

Mark,

Thanks for taking time out of your weekend to try and help me.

Here is a link to one of my blog posts
http://myadventurejobs.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=49&Itemid=53

And here is a link to the post I was trying to fix yesterday
http://myadventurejobs.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=72&Itemid=53

I am just trying to get double spaced line spacing so it its not all crunched together and easier for readers to read.

Like this blog post right here

http://www.nomadicmatt.com/travel-blogs/why-travel-makes-you-awesome/ <------- This is perfect line spacing & loook at that URL. Why is my URL's all filled with gibberish?



Which also reminds me how do I make my URLs less obnoxious?

Isn't this URL

http://myadventurejobs.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=72&Itemid=53

supposed to be

http://myadventurejobs.com/how-to-get-hired-at-a-ski-resort-part-1

I am really not a fan of this at all
index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=72&Itemid=53



where would I put this line of code?

.blog-text p {
padding: 8px 0;
line-height: 150%;
}

in the text field of my post?

Hello Adam,

I tried viewing your fix at the blog post http://myadventurejobs.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=72&Itemid=53 but I must say that it's insane to actually type those out line by line. Here's something that you can quickly fix in your template's css file so that all paragraph texts are by default using 200% line-heights.

Add the block of css codes into the file /templates/extend/css/default/extend-red.css

.blog-text p

{

    font-family: georgia, palatino;

    font-size: 16px;

    line-height: 200%;

    margin: 10px 0;

}

By the way, to get a nice looking URL, you want to turn on the SEF mode in Joomla. I have turned it on for you

Mark,

Thank you so much, but where do I put that code?

I have also attached the extend.red.css file incase that screen shot doesnt make sense.

Mark,

Thank you for turning on the URL switch, but now the photo slider only works on the home page http://myadventurejobs.com/

If you go to any other webpage on my site the photo box will look like the screenshot I took after the first pic.


http://screencast.com/t/rZdcwZHTt5Xl

It shows the first photo and then goes to a gray box.

What does this mean? How do I fix that?

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,

As I do not have the FTP access to the site, I cannot make these changes but from what I can see here, you need to add your codes on the path of /templates/extend/css/default/extend-red.css . Regarding your issues about the photo slider at the top, it looks like the way that particular module is rendering the source url of the photo is not using the absolute path. Hence, when SEF is enabled, it doesn't work because it is linking to the photo incorrectly. I guess you should try contacting the author of the module.

Mark,

I am not asking where to put that file I am asking where do I put that line of code within that file because were I already copied and pasted that code into that file and then FTP'd it to the destination you told me to didn't do anything. And that line of code you told me to put in there is highlighted red on my screen while the rest of lines of code are not.

Adam

Hello Adam,

Sorry I might have misread your post earlier. Yes, that location is fine. In fact anywhere within the file is fine

Mark,

That code was supposed to make things universal correct??

compare too

http://myadventurejobs.com/easyblog/entry/72-how-to-get-hired-at-a-ski-resort


doesn't look like anything has changed.

Regards,

Adam

I don't see any changes which I provided earlier on http://myadventurejobs.com/templates/extend/css/default/extend-red.css . Where did you place it?

I thought I put it were you told me to

http://screencast.com/t/6UUkPR0cEV

I have added my FTP login nfo below if that helps

I opened up that file but I don't see the codes there. Perhaps it did not overwrite the file on the server? I have added the codes and it works fine now. Remember to clear your browser's cache as the css files are cached on the site.

Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to help me out on your weekend I really do appreciate it. Thank you very much.


Adam
