I tried so many things including font play and adjusting the breakers, nothing worked! I was able to fix it so easily, so read on to learn the complete fix!
My old fix was to delete the post and post it again, and I’d lose the comments, and a lot of time. But thankfully I was able to fix it on my own. I looked the problem on line and found nothing.
The Fix
First of all if you publish your post and notice the Fix the p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { } line where it shouldn’t be then go to blogger and edit the post.
On the edit menu you will see the button to the far left called “Compose”
and a button next to it called “HTML”, click on HTML.
Even if you had zero knowledge with HTML, this fix is really easy (And I recommend you as a blogger to learn some HTML as it’s so easy to learn!).
What are we going to do is to remove the Fix the p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { } line from the post, it’s highlighted in red so it should be easy.
From the HTML view click find and search for “p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }” and you will find it looking like this <style type=”text/css” p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style
Delete only the line maintaining the brackets or you will result in an error, it needs to look like this after delete <style type=”text/css” </style
go back to compose and update, the problem will be fixed right away!!
So what’s the cause of this annoying bug anyway?
I discovered that it is caused by “Rich text formatting”, as I use LibreOffice to do all of my writing work, I tend to copy and paste directly into blogger, that caused these characters to appear inside the posts!
How to avoid it?
I hope you found this useful, how often did this happen to you? And how did you deal with it? Please let me know what you have in mind in the comments section below.
P.S: This post itself was infected with this issue, glad I could get it fixed eventually.
