I have been trying to enter text, but the HTML editor is messing it up. I try to edit the HTML, but that just seems to make it worse. I just want it to give me proper paragraph breaks. I tried copying my content as a Word file and Rich Text, but it screws them both up. I went to the WordPress forums, but they were on about pug-ins. I was wondering if there is a some other way I need to paste the text in, or if I will just have to type it directly into the blog for the automatic HTML to work properly.
go to admin panel - options - Writing - Uncheck "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically"
