  All that garbage code is a result of copying and pasting form Microsoft WORD.

  Edit the post to remove that code > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/

  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

  Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1

  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/

  After I click the #15 icon and row 2 appears, there is no “Settings>writing>formatting showing. Where do I find that?

  Hi there,
  First get out of the editor. Then go to your Admin page > Settings > Writing

  When I went tot he Admin page, settings-writing, I found that square was already checked and has been since before I even posted on the blog.

  You’ll have to Edit them each one at a time. Click to the TEXT editor and you should be able to strip out everything before the first square bracket, and that will get rid of it.

  Thank you both for your help. Everything is working fine now. I certainly won’t cut and paste from MS Word again. You’ve both done your good deed for the day for sure. :)
