If you’ve been using WordPress for long, you know that if you try to simply copy and paste something from Microsoft Word into WordPress, you’ll get a big mess … your theme (aka template) will get messed up … if you’ve used colors or different fonts in the Word document, you’ll see all shades of wierdness in WordPress.
In the process of helping out a client, I think I’ve found a solution to this problem … it’s called the WordPress Plain Text Plugin.
Here how it works: After you install it, you copy your text from your Microsoft Word document, then toggle over to your WordPress window and “Write Post” … in the WYIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor located underneath the Title box, you’ll see a couple new icons … with your mouse, hover over then to the “Paste from Word” one … click that … then paste your text into there and click “Insert.”

Can you suggest a blog template that would work best for a multi neighborhood real estate application? I have several neighborhoods that I market within a specific community and I currently have neighborhood websites for each of them. They are not as interactive as I am hoping the blogs will be, but I am having a time looking for the right blog. I am trying out blogger.com and find that it is more limited than I had hoped. (http://www.weloveranchocucamonga.blogspot.com/) I’d like to somehow have the neighborhoods link off the main blog. Is there such an animal in a template out there or am I asking for too much?
