Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

I don’t know about word wrapping them, because I don’t use Word Press, but you could request that they use tiny url to create a small footprint link.

Or, you could edit the comment and do it yourself if it doesn’t happen too often.
I wasn’t able to find a solution on google, and you’re not the only one with this issue.
I’ve seen other sites beg/demand you use tinyurl.com, which is about as much work as writing link code.
Kevin – I prefer tiny url whenever I can’t do a preview so I can test that I typed everything correctly. That’s the only real difference between the two. With tiny url – it’s just copy and paste.
When creating a link – there are the extra tag characters and my sad inability to type things correctly is my downfall.
This is a Buckethead question
I’ve used both TinyURL and SnipURL, and nowadays I use SnipURL
http://snipurl.com/
Not having used TinyURL for awhile, I can’t remember the difference, but SnipURL couldn’t be easier.
Use the plugin.
Lex,
That plugin might be your best bet, as there’s not a good way to wrap long words using just CSS. If you really want a CSS solution you can hide the text after it flows off the side of the comment. That’s not really ideal because it’ll make the URL hard to copy, but at least it won’t mess up your layout.
To do that find this class in your CSS: #content ol.commentlist li and add overflow-x:hidden.
You could also try to get clever with Javascript to insert breaks in long words, but that’s probably more of a PITA than you want.
HTH,
