  I just upgraded to 2.6 and all of my post are formatted in the HTML editor as follows:

  <img src=”.jpg”/>
  <div id=”text_cont”>Paragraph 1

  Paragraph 2

  Paragraph 3</div>

  but the generated code is:

  <p><img src=”.jpg”/></p>
  <div id=”text_cont”>Paragraph 1</p>

  <p>Paragraph 2</p>

  <p>Paragraph 3</p></div>

  WordPress doesn’t insert the <p> before ‘Paragraph 1’ which leads to no spacing between Paragraph 1 and 2. See http://www.freshtrend.com/2008/08/portable-ipod-video-enlarger.html

  I know how to fix this for writing new posts, but really want to make sure that all of my old posts are formatted properly. how do I get that <p> to appear before Paragraph 1?

  Thanks so much for any help….

  Since you are self-hosted, you need to inquire over at http://wordpress.org/support/ as the software used here on the wordpress.com free hosting service is different.
