New Dashboard – Can’t use HTML
-
I’m trying to put some HTML code into a new post but it won’t let me. The HTML does not accept my attempt to use it.

Sorry, it changes it, so I’ll slightly misprint it by adding dic before it; -

Use the backticks as it says underneath the comment box. Usually it’s the key next to the 1 on your keyboard.

Is this it?

Don’t understand backticks!! There seems to be a prob in trying to change between HTML & Visual Edit. I’ve just tried entering some other HTML <p><img src=”http://dickiebo.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/120208-1359-11.png” alt=”” /></p> and that works OK but…the Visual Editor won’t show the correct writing afterwards. But it did come out on a Post. Very strange and disconcerting!

I don’t know why you can’t switch between visual and html.
You first posted a perfectly fine live link (without the backticks).
Don't understand backticks!!
BTW “backticks” are on my keyboard next to the “1” key: the lower case of the tilde (~). A backtick looks like this:. Like a backward apostrophe ' .‘ Anyway, they make it possible to post plain html in the forums without making it active. You can also use them here to make a box around a quote.You might try to type out

then use the link button in the editor (the chain) to get it into your post. -

Try the cookie dance: log out, clear browser cache and cookies, restart computer. Sometimes that helps with these peculiar errors.

I wonder if this is right.
ALL PLEASE IGNORE THIS. -
