    I browsed around and figured out there was something wrong in the html coding of one of my tags– the tag didn’t close properly. Unfortunately, I don’t have notepad++ or anything of the sort to identify which tag, so I had to remove them all.

    That kind of issue is usually caused by copying and pasting. If you are copying and pasting for example from Microsoft WORD without using the correct icons in the Visual editor to strip the junk code out you will experience this again and worse.

    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/
