  Hello,

  I have created several pages on my blog here: lloydmillerarchitect.wordpress.com. On all of the pages there are squares and other strange characters appearing in between words and letters. I have tried deleting each page and starting over and taking out all formatting but nothing is working. Here are some of the page examples where this is happening:

  http://lloydmillerarchitect.wordpress.com/projects/morgantown-event-center-and-garage/
  http://lloydmillerarchitect.wordpress.com/projects/parkersburg-intermodal-parking-facility/

  Please help!!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your blog cannot be validated with the W3C XHTML validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Flloydmillerarchitect.wordpress.com&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 .

  Go to settings > general in your dashboard and check to make sure that under “Encoding for pages and feeds” that it is set for UTF-8.

  Thanks for the advice, I have set my encoding to UTF-8, but the above pages still appear the same with all the characters between my text. Anything else I can do to try and fix this? My posts still don’t appear normal.

  Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “save changes.”

  Next open each of the posts with the problem in the editor, make one minor change (such as adding a space and then deleting it) and then click “update post” and see if that does not correct things for you.
