INTERNET MARKETING

So I've got my blog framework all setup. Set my homepage as static and I'm trying to add articles to my post page, but the formatting is showing up all screwy.

The paragraph shows up half-way(like this paragraph in relation to the above, for example) down the page instead of right under the title. I have to use control+x or control+V to post "because of browser security settings", but for some reason I'm unable to get things just right no matter how much I play with the post before publishing...am I doing something wrong here? Post here or pm me if you think you can help. Thanks.

Mike

What is the link to your blog? It may be an issue with the theme you chose... or possibly something in the CSS causing the problem.

  Wordpress formatting issues... are typically just poor CSS coding.

Yep, there are many things I adore about WP...but getting it to do exactly what you want can be a challenge depending on the theme you've chosen

9 times out of 10 if you Turn-Off the Rich Text editor that solves the problem.

  How do you turn that off?
  
  I just learned a tip (for those technically inclined!) that you can build your pages in Dreamweaver, then paste the html code into Wordpress. then don't make any changes! All maintenance should be done back in Dreamweaver.
  
  Of course, you could use any html tool. Front Page might work too.
  
  Thanks
