  I tried to post an article on my blog, but I keep getting a bunch of what I think is code before the image and the body of the article. Can anyone help me figure out why this happened, and how to fix it please? I know just enough about blogs to be dangerous, and this is proof.
  Thanks in advance,
  God bless

  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/

  Namaste
