Any wordpress guys able to help?

I've set up a wordpress page to show my problem.

http://www.projectminisite.com/members/test/

Is there any way that I can get hard breaks in my email, when I try I get the HTML tags. (see the 2nd box)

Would love to hear any ways around this?

Thanks in advance

Darren,

Are you including the:

<html><body> tags at the start, and then the </body> </html> tags at the end of your document?

Browsers need these instructions to format the page as a HTML document.

Hi Joe,

Just tried adding the <html> and <body> tags within the textframe, no luck, is this where it should be added? Also tried it before the textframe tag too, still no luck. I'm sure its me!

Thanks in advance

OOPS!!

I just notice I have the ending tags backwards

The last tags should be </body> </html> and not </html></body>

The <html> tag goes first and tells the browser that the document is formatted for html.

The <body> tag follows and tells the browser that what follows is content.

Then at the very end of your document the </body> tag tells the browser that the content is finished, and the </html> tag tells the browser that the document is finished.

So it looks like this....

<html>
<body>

All your content

</body>
</html>

Sorry for the confusion...my bad

Hi Joe,

This is the HTML, if that helps...

<blockquote>
Step 2 - Affiliate Email Series
To rewrite
Email 1 - SUBJECT: So, You Want To Be An “Arteest”, {!firstname_fix}?
 
<html><body><textarea name="textarea3" rows="10" cols="68">Hey {!firstname_fix},

I don’t know about you, but one of the biggest problems I have in selling online is dealing with too many outsourcers, especially graphics guys. The thing is, I couldn’t draw the way to my own house on a MAP, much less put together a smoking hot minisite design for one of my promotions!

Soooo….

I hire graphics guys.

Problem with that is, ... </body></html>

Try using after every paragraph where you want a break... no need for the afterwards... just try this and see if it works for you...

Darren,

The opening tags need to be the very first tags you use .

So the <html><body> need to be placed before the <blockquote> tag.

I'm not sure if you are also asking about this, but to get a space between your paragraphs you need to ad 2 tags (or tags if using the old style). Example... 

However, the tags should handle the spacing between two paragraphs.

you will need to use the \n style for new lines instead of html breaks
