Publishing article
-
Whenever I post a new artickel in my blog in the very moment I click on publish – there shows on the top on the article strange collection of letters and signs – which I can only remove after the article was published – I cannot see it in the field in which I work. It is irritating because my fallowers becomes an issue with this strange signs. Please chack if there is something wrong or if this is my mistake – it is the case of all my blogs.

All that garbage formatting code is a result of copying and pasting from Microsoft WORD.
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/

If I guessed wrong and you are not copying and pasting from Microsoft WORD please
save a draft copy of a post with this issue in it;
return to this thread type the title of the draft post into a comment box in this thread for Staff to examine;
and type modlook into the sidebar tags of this thread. -
Unfortunately I do not understand your suggestion. Yes I was tryying to copy the text from word and post it into the blog article.

Copying from word can be quite buggy at times. Try to copy your word document into wordpad or notepad and see if that works.
