I would like a form to post to one of my community blogs (still hate that word) and I would like it to be of reasonable size. Somewhat like these forums. I would also like it to look decent in Explorer as well as Safari, but looks like I am doing something wrong there (perhaps that’s just asking too much). The form is at:

My guess on the first part is this is a template setting somewhere, and perhaps I’ll find it by the time someone responds. On the second, weird, since usually Explorer does better parsing my CSS than Safari. I’ll figure this out to.

I guess I’m just throwing the area open to feedback or suggestions.

The front end design on my site in general has been the least fun of getting pmachine. I am guessing I am not using much of the functionality or tags. I want to worry more about the content than getting the site to look cool (I want that too, I just don’t want to be the one to do it).

It sounds like what you want is a Collective Weblog.  There is, indeed, a Template for the submission form: Edit Templates > weblog > Collective Entry Form

Heh, thanks. Helps some. My main problem is too many things to learn, and things aren’t alway intuitive. I took the line:

and added in align"center” but it changed nothing. This would work in html, yes? It looks like html.

Maybe I am just too tired.

There is no “align” attribute for the <textarea> HTML tag.

Try this Google search about how to center content.
