I can't seem to get the text to behave like a normal HTML page and wrap the text that I put in an entry. Under what circumstances would any template assume that the author or reader wants to have the text go off the screen? (See my MT blog at http://theoblogical.org/movtyp)
I see MT blogs and they don't have this problem. I did nothing to the default templates. This has happened since day 1 and entry 1. Can somebody send me or point me to where I can get the solution?

JOHO on AKMA and his credentials as a techno-theologian
"Will someone please find him a job that combines theology, preaching, scholarship, teaching and being a tech guru for a college? Oh, and stand-up comic and candidate for political office"
And after someone does that, help me find one too. I find myself becoming more concerned about how the economic times are worsening the problems the Church has with "keeping up" with technology. I find myself in the middle. Not "credentialed" enough in the secular world to get my due in Web development, but not "in demand" from Church-related groups because of things like the "Web vision" not being on the radar. I gripe about this in my article An MIT for the Church.
I often try a "further filter" in my searches for Web Development work by adding "seminary" and "theological" and "Church" in various combinations, still hoping to stumble across some places where a Christian-based group is seeking to address the possibilities for "growth" via the online seekers. Manyof these "online seekers" are also people for whom the Church is near and dear to their heart but have found themselves less and less engaged, more "hungry" for dilaogue that just isn't happening much anymore in the Church (the fact that there ARE exceptions is what keeps me going, and hoping, and wondering why we can't do a better job of providing some online "oases" and places for the Church to become "re-connected" in both the personal sense and the technologically-networked sense).

Today, on yet another non-Church going Sunday morning (I am a bit sinus-clogged and sluggish, which may well be evidenced in this entry), I am bummed about how the job market is. I went to Dell on Thursday and took a series of "tests" to determine my "Sales Skills", and I failed a test that took you through a series of simulated customer calls for a ficticious "customer order line" staffing company who took care of three different companies online sales. I scored "too low" to proceed to the interview stage. It seems I fell short on my "investigative skills". Apparently, I didn't "open up the binder" to consult on every little detail, and apparently this is what they were "filtering" in this test. Perhaps the system also filtered me out for "pressure tactics" (which I don't use). Perhaps the system is right.
