Check the theme demo - it features a quote format post where quotes "are not supposed to be":

Forever displays Quote and Status format posts in the footer. You need to go to Posts > All Posts, edit the post and select the Standard format (or trash it, if you don't want it at all).

I've tried switching to a different theme and then back, but the post seems to really just want to be there. This draft was deleted and no longer exists on my account.

The WordPress.com editor / update functionality is a NIGHTMARE.

If I'm working on FORMATTING, I don't make any money.

In addition, I actually didn't get a client this week, therefore money, because WordPress formatting changes what I've posted and MAKES ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. Thanks WordPress.

ALL online editors are garbage, but WordPress is exceptionally bad. How can I recommend this platform when it takes me 20 minutes to write something great and up to 2 hours to F with the formatting.

I've been doing this a long time. I copy all my content to a codefree notepad before I copy it into WordPress. Then when I use the WordPress tools to add extra lines, use bold or itallics, the whole document/post starts jumping around and becomes a NIGHTMARE. Even after using the code eraser it doesn't work.

FIX YOUR SOFTWARE!!!

The only suggestion and solution I can suggest is to download one of the offline blog editors. Windows Live Writer or BlogDesk for Windows users, Qumana for Mac or Windows, or download and use the Scribefire add-on for Firefox which works with both Mac and Windows.

Here's a good blog post on the offline editors: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/offline-blog-editors-reviews/

It's so frustrating. I have also noticed that if I want to post a bunch of images one after the other with a few spaces in-between, after I hit publish, they're bunched together. It definitely adds 20-30 minutes of my time trying to fix it--sometimes to now avail.

I went with one over 8 months ago after losing a couple posts due to problems with the wordpress editor, and now I don't have to put up with any of the "peculiarities" of the online editor. One of the benefits is that you always have a copy of your posts on your hard drive.

There are several that are free downloads. Save yourself some headaches and check them out.

All posts have to be written in one sitting --- they can't even be viewed in between because that makes all the <p> tags go away. Even when I edit in code version, it takes the <p> tags away.

How long is it going to take to resolve? I am thinking about going to a different blog software because this bug truly adds at least five minutes to every post that I write.

They don't yet know what causes it, but what's happening is that all your P tags are getting switched to Div tags. Just go into the Code editor and switch them back, changing nothing else. Remember to change the closing tags, too.

However, I hit a new issue yesterday and am wondering how to avoid it in future.

After spending a lot of time getting my post to appear how I wanted, I noticed that I had misspelled a word in my tags. So, I went back and fixed the tag spelling, touching nothing within my post body.

When I re-published, everything in my post was messed up again.

Why doesn't it save my code changes and keep them? Help!?

Thanks.
