- Go to Hello, I'm having a frustrating problem with my blog
I was afraid it had something to do with my wonderful
copy & paste skills, lol. Thanks for the tips Brian.

When you copy and paste any writing from a website or another application, sometimes you will find that you've also included the formatting of the original. The only way to fix this is by making sure that you follow these steps when copying text:
1. Highlight the text. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
2. Open Notepad. Notepad is in the Start menu, under Programs > Accessories.
3. Choose Paste from the Edit menu. The text will be pasted without formatting.
4. Highlight the text in Notepad. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
5. Now, you can paste the text without formatting into the "Add post" page.
In order to fix the formatting on your particular blog, go back and Edit the post that first messed up your formatting. To edit a post, go to your Write page and click on Edit next to the name of the blog in question. Then edit the particular post that first changed your formatting.
You may want to copy all of the text and then follow the above steps to remove its formatting, and then repost it.
If that doesn't work, you may need to completely delete that post and see if the formatting is corrected for the subsequent posts. If not, you may need to continue editing and/or deleting all the posts that are a problem.
Hope that helps!
