My 2 cents. I use firefox too and didn’t encounter any formatting prblems.

I’m on a PC with Firefox. So, maybe it’s me. I’m not very computer savvy and am not going to change any browsers just to read that post. I have never had any problems with anything else, so it’s not worth it.

Are the people with the formatting issues on IE? I view the site on my Macs with Safari and on a PC with Firefox, and I never had any problems.

Every cornstalk a tresspasser knocks down or damages subtracts from a farmer’s profit on his labor. Don’t tresspass. I’m having trouble with the garbled, oversize print issue too. Pity someone with a passion for writing doesn’t trouble to fix his writing so it may be read! I guess the advertsising clicks pay whether the text is legible or not.

Those with formatting issues might try switching browsers. I’ve never had a problem viewing TSD in Chrome, and I use several different computers regularly.

And, well, I have to agree with the cornfield: unless you have explicit permission, it is trespassing, and frankly, knowing what’s involved in farming, that sounds kind of dangerous.

@Con: It seems to be a browser issue, maybe? I have no problems viewing it on my mac, but if I’m using a PC, I have the same issues that you all are describing.

No idea why my mention of DeMuth’s painting based on the quoted poem did not make it through moderation. Seems so arbitrarty.

Yes, the font size is HUGE. I don’t have a problem today, but I will have it later. ALWAYS. On his Inspiration pieces mainly. I wonder why he doesn’t try to fix it? But some people seen to not have a problem.

Maybe he has gotten permission to go in the corn fields. If so, great. If not, not so great.

Can someone with a Twitter or Facebook account contact Trent about the template/formatting issue with these 10 pieces of inspiration articles? I’ve been leaving comments here & emailing him to no avail, but it sounds like he does read Tweets & his Facebook page. I don’t have either, so can’t get through.

For those of you not affected by the formatting issue, it not only affects this article but all the ones posted prior to it, so now when I try to browse back in time on this site, I eventually end up with one word to a screen view….

And as a farmer, I ditto the comments about not going into someone else’s property, especially without permission. And if you’re accessing it via your back yard, be advised that farmers spray & put out pesticides of all kinds but are only required to post warning notices at logical entry points (along public roads or at the road’s entry to their property).

A note of caution for corn field wanderers. Unattended children can get lost in cornfields! We live on a farm, and my children didn’t go into cornfields without their dad for that reason & the bugs and spiders weren’t fun either!

I was thinking the same thing about the corn. That is private property, what you are doing is criminal trespass. You must always get permission first.

Trent, this template still needs to be repaired.

Before anyone goes playing in a farmer’s field, remember y’all are tresspassing on private property and disrespecting a family’s livelihood. Put into perspective, you wouldn’t appreciate the farmer walking into your house and playing around on your computers. Always get permission first, hidden dangers lurk even in the most inviting and tranquil places, especially so with agriculture.
