Wordless Wednesday: Balloon Kid Always Tried to Steal the Show!

Apparently my new blog will not allow me to do Wordless Wednesday without words or it spits out code and looks terrible to boot. It has a front page teaser code minimum of 525 characters. So now I have to get wordy – or it spits out code… How will I ever do Wordless Wednesday again!

“Okay so there is this kid with a balloon, oh yeah and that’s my Dad in the middle. ”

Shut Up Dan- I see you down there commenting!!! Stop commenting – You two are making me nuts- my blog is acting up and you are both commenting nonsense!!! Do you know how weird it is to have commenters while one is trying to post.

This may actually be the last Wordless Wednesday ever on here- if I can’t figure out how to work around it. I happen to like my Wordless Wednesdays Wordless!

{I still love you fancy new bloggy!}

    Ha ha! You used words. You used words in your title too. You can’t pick on me any more for using words!

    And why does the picture fit on the page view, but is huge on the main page?

    UPDATE: Oh, I see you fixed it as I was leaving a comment to make me look dumb. Sneaky.

    @dcr: Wordless = word + less, or less words – not no words! ;)
    And now, the “Why”, for all of you technical types:

    The Revolution template uses

    < ?php the_content_limit(525, "[Read the full story]"); ?>

    to produce a uniform teaser length in the tab section. We could use

    < ?php the_content('Read more...'); ?> 

    and let the user decide the length of the content by using the teaser break (A.K.A <!–more–>). This would result in this tabbed section being resized depending on where the break is used, resulting in other page content jumping around to adjust… not very pretty, unless CSS is used to define a static height for the block, but then you run the risk of the user making their teaser too long – but that is what {overflow;hidden}. Hmmmm…
    How’s that for “wordless”?

    @Michelle: fancy new bloggy loves you too <3

    Funny that Dan caught you using words. But I think Jerry just broke my brain with whatever technical nonsense he was spouting up there. So I’ll just assume he knows what he is talking about and slowly back away while I can still think. :)

    Your picture (not wordless either) is burning up the court at my blog (one state over)

    That balloon kid really did steal the show!

    Is wordless a plugin? That would be a kind of cool thing to do on my blog too.
