text editing not working on new blog

  • hello all,
    i just set up my weblog today, and I have some issues with regards to posting…text editing.

    Ive tried using both blogdesk and Windows Live writer to update test posts etc, but i have noticed that any text editing(bold, underline, italics) I do on the client does not work when the weblog is updated. It shows up something like this:

    ptest post/p
    pemtest post/em/p
    pstrongtest post/strong/p
    ptest post/p
    pstrongtest post/strong/p

    I have tried turning on/off the ‘visual editor when writing’, but the result is still the same.

    pls advise
    Nb

    hello again,

    Kindly, if someone can assist me to sort this issue out. I just did some research into my problems and here are the observations Ive made.

    I am trying to update my weblog using clients like Blogdesk and Windows Live Writer.

    1) ex:if I type the following below:
    “html formatting problem”, and I view the source code before uploading, what i see on my client is this:

    <p>html formatting problem</p>

    ,

    when I upload to post it on my weblog, it displays like this:

    stronghtml formatting problem/strong

    I dont know why the html tags are stipped out and displayed wrongly.

    2) The same observation goes for images. Images are uploaded into their correct directory, I can see the file there, however it doesnt get displayed correctly.
    ex: an image uploaded from a blogging client displays like this:

    img height=168 alt=Sunset
    src=https://……../uploads/2009/01/sunset-9.jpg width=225 /

    note that the < and > tags were removed. If I were to manually edit the code online to:

    <img height=168 alt=Sunset
    src=https://……../uploads/2009/01/sunset-9.jpg width=225 />

    the image gets displayed correctly.

    Pls note that I’m also using blogdesk and Windows Live Writer to update wordpress.com hosted weblogs and things have been working fine since.

    please help
