Why is my blog post displaying funny?

  I typed my first blog post and submitted it, and it is showing on the main page and covering up the welcome message. I was expecting it to display beneath that. The text is all jumbled, and I can’t figure out how to fix it.

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

  This happened because you copypasted the content from another source. Edit the post, select all in the Visual editor, click the “Remove formatting” tool, then switch the editor to Text (=code), delete these from the start and the end of the post (then click Update):

  <div id="WRchTxt-8f4d2faa-6260-79d2-2bdf-3d9259d091ce">
  <div>

  </div>
  </div>

  In the future, never copypaste from other sources into the Visual editor: you introduce wrong code that messes things up. When you need to paste, paste in the Text editor.
