  Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Are you copying and pasting the content into your blog posts by any chance?

  Can you let me know what Internet browser and operating system you’re using, plus the versions?

  No, I typed the content in the first 2 times, after that I did copy and paste as I was tired of re-typing.

  I am using Firefox (whatever the most recent one is) and Windows XP 2002. I’ve never had an issue until today on posting on any of my blogs, in fact I posted a load of things a few days back as easily as usual, it’s just started this afternoon.

  Thanks

  Thanks for the update! Copying and pasting can sometimes bring in invalid characters that the post editor can’t understand.

  To avoid this in the future, it’s best to upload the image to your post via the “Add Image” button.
