In reply to: 3.9 Update – How to Add Padding and Border to Images Now?The padding stuff was removed when the image editor was “improved” – WordPress.com does Beta testing for this and the peasants with pitchforks thread is way over 400 entries with people upset – all the staff can do currently is to post how to do padding in html – which amazingly has now been hailed as a “great leap forward” (the ability to scale images was missing for a few weeks and had to be done in html)
You are lucky here – someone should be able to write or modify a Plugin to give you the functions that many use everyday – the .com folks are stuck with html coding and no Plugin chance

In reply to: How do I add lines between paragraphs???I use ‘<br class=”blank” />’ to get a hard line feed. Insert in html mode, it will survive switching between visual and html mode.

In reply to: Using HTML Tables in WordPressI have used WP-Table-Reloaded: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-table-reloaded/
It worked well for me. You should also be able to make the table with HTML, some Themes are not Table friendly, I think 2010 is better behaved.

In reply to: Keep a Particular Post on TopA Sticky Post should stay at the top of the first Page with the rest of the Posts in normal order starting below the Sticky Post – at least it always has for me.
Have you tried a Sticky Post on your site?

In reply to: auto-update from version 2.2.3?You also need to update in several small steps as there are some changes to the Database at some versions. I have seen threads a while back about problems making too big a jump at one time. Sorry I don’t remember where the list of steps are posted.
Make sure you backup both your standard content files and the Database (separate items) in case you have problems.
With a bit of luck one of the moderators will stop by here with the versions numbers for the upgrades.

In reply to: Disabling Post RevisionsI changed my wp-config.php file to only save the last 10 Post saves. I did need to visit the old Posts and update them to trigger the save limits.
`
define (‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 10);/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */’

In reply to: How to add a 16.7 zipped pdf to my blogI think they meant FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Account.
Different servers and hosts are configured differently for Max file size. There have been some threads recently about how to change the Max WordPress upload file size, or you could try talking with your host and see if they can help.

In reply to: One Image With 2 Different Links?That is the way WordPress operates normally anyway.
Even if you use the same picture – I would not use the same picture however – the front page would have a thumbnail picture (I usually make them on my PC and upload) that is smaller and less resolution – then your front page loads faster. Then use the regular full size picture in the post.
