[Seattle-editorial] publish interface/ small probs/formating raparound/title length

[anarch3m]

Lets start by just saying the title line is VERY frustrating.  It allows only SHORT titles.  ITis not long enough to give enough info.  Its like a single column title in the print news.  Its achallenge to edit so brutally.  Its hard to catch attention, or give info to the eyes of those who fast scan.

I did a D.C. post.and the format looked perfect.  inmagine when I saw all those half lines, all the white space, between the full length lines.  Even a vigorous edit,... backing the space between words until i lost letters, then inserting 1 space....half lines and full lines still taunted me.

Seattle does this too but not as brutally.  wys is NOT wyg

A QUESTION:  I work a. cut/paste, b. notepad. I rarely touch wordpad.  could this have something to do with it?  am I loosing format info?

When can some editorialistas learn to do the features post gruntwork?  I looked at the wiki tutorials Brandon) and had no idea where to put my hands and turn the wrench.  It felt like reading a hemmings motormanual without a car to play on.  It was not intuitive.
