I'm having a formatting issue

I'm having trouble formatting my entries - especially when I cut and paste from another document. I've tried to insert the "!--break-->" but my paragraphs still break up.

Any suggestions? Am I a total tech-moron or has anyone else dealt with this?

Thanks.

Tell me more...

Are you writing your own HTML or are you writing your post "somewhere else" and then copying and pasting the code into BlogHer's text entry box?

From peeking at your code, it looks like you're writing "somewhere else" first and then pasting. Here's what I'd recommend:

1) When you have the blog post box open on BlogHer, immediately click "disable rich text editor".

2) Paste the code that you've copied from "somewhere else" and click submit.

3) If you click preview, it may mess up the formatting - just like it's doing right now.

The < ! - - break - - > code should only be used once and that is only to indicate where the "teaser" will appear on the topic landing page. It's generally not necessary to use that code at all.

Give those things a try and see how that works.

Thanks.

Thanks, Denise. I'm usually copying from "somewhere else". I'll try the disable feature and see if that works. I'm still learning all of this HTML "stuff"! I appreciate the help.
