Post in shading
-
When I use
at the beginning of a poem and
at the end to save the formatting,
when I publish the poem it is shaded.If I then seek to copy and post the poem to my documents
in my computer, all the formatting is lost.If I post something without using a formatting device,
there is no shading and when I transfer it, it remains
as is.How do I get rid of the shading in my published poem?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I guess I shouldn’t have used the formatting devices because
it changed the form of my question.Sorry.
Anyway, try to read it in the strange form. Hopefully, it will make sense.

Did you make the post in question a sticky post? If you did then maybe that’s where the shading it coming from. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts
Did you copy and paste the text from a word processing program? That could account for your problem.
If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD note that the pasts as WORD button was removed months ago. If you use the Paste as text button then a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-textWhether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/
See here for using the Visual editor icons http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/
P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
