  Hi,

  I have a blog @ http://oddjobsmanspeaks.wordpress.com hosted by WP. I am having trouble writing code within my blog post. Whenever I try [code][/code] tags, I am seeing <div></div> and
  tags as part of my code which is not what I intend to see.

  I also turned on the Markdown editor for my blog, but even that introduces unexpected
  tags. Please guide me as to how I can add code.

  The code I intend to use would be JavaScript, CSS, SQL, bash, Erlang, html

  Regards,
  Ranganath Kini

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

  Hi Ranganath,

  You’re using the code tags to post sourcecode, as described here, correct?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

  And you are composing in the Text editor (rather than the Visual editor):
  Editors

  If so, and it’s still not working, can you please link me to a specific post or page where the code isn’t appearing correctly so I can take a look?
