Brand-spanking-new refugee with RTE/import questions

[nina_in_technicolor]

Hey y'all,

I just moved here from LJ over Respectless 88, and I have a bit of a conundrum. On LJ, I was in the process of writing a post about musical influences that was going to be rather Youtube-heavy (in deference to those who may not know all the songs and artists I was discussing). I managed to royally mess up the code on LJ because Nina fails at RTE, and simply didn't finish fixing the post.


Then I imported to DW.

Will I be able to pick up where I left off on LJ, or am I going to be better off rewriting and recoding the whole #@*( post so the finished product doesn't scatter broken code all over my DW? (and semi-related: Is there a way to do this IN HTML, for the RTE-hater in me?)

Did you save the entry into your journal, or did you leave it in LJ's update form?

If you saved the entry to your journal, it should have imported.

If you left it in LJ's update form, it will not have imported.

And for HTML, what you'd do is grab the code to embed the video off YouTube, and paste that in HTML mode.

(You can see by my icon how much I love LJ's RTE.)

Hi! If I understand correctly, then you finished the post and posted it on LJ before you imported your entries to DW, right?
If so, fixing it shouldn't be a problem. You can edit all your imported entries, and there's a html editor right there. Just go to the entry and click "edit entry", and you'll be able to edit it using RTE or HTML (pick HTML in the tab on the top right corner of the entry you're editing). I think that's similar to LJ (or at least as I remember it from way back when)
Hope this was somewhat helpful. :)

Totally off topic, is that an Adam Lambert icon? I am such</> a fanboy.
