I turned off WYSIWYG completely and got this on my site

I gave up and switched to blogger.

Well, even turning off WYSIWYG completely didn’t help, as you can see at my site

So I dropped it and switched to blogger.

Be nice if your suggestions worked Moshu. I tried turning the visual editor off. And this happens in firefox too.

Why is it so hard to accept that people are having a lot of trouble with this? WordPress is supposed to make blogging easier not harder– or is that not the case?

Because right now, easier would be to use Aquamacs to create pages from scratch and not do blogging at all.

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

I use Aquamacs for text editing my web pages already. I would like to have something that was closer to wsywyg functionality. The first time I used a markup language was back in 1979. I’m a little tired of them. ??

Now if only that worked, and wordpress didn’t erase those tags I’ve been using for years in regular html pages.

I’m a new user, having the same sort of problems, on a mac, with firefox.

It’s making me feel like an idiot. I just want nicely formatted posts, and all I get is garbage. Turning off the visual editor helps only a little bit.

Can anyone direct me to a site that explains how to format posts in WordPress? It seems the simplest html code is impossible and ignored.

I’m so frustrated I feel I should just go back to creating web pages from scratch in a text editor, and give up on using a blog at all.

I’m not trying to do anything fancy. Inserting line breaks would be great. I don’t get how everyone else does this, and why it’s supposed to be such a great simple and fast way to post articles to the web.

I can’t seem to find any tutorials or help for this. I suppose for every one else it just works.
