  Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
  Formatting
  _ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

  I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/

  You need to be cautious and use the correct approach when copying and pasting from any document created in a word processor.

  Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  You also need to be aware of the fact that your computer is not a web server that hosts images for viewing on the internet. All images you use in your blog must be hosted on a web server somewhere on the internet- you cannot copy and paste them.

  These are the accepted file types:
