Problems with blog formatting

[TracyWilliams]

When I use the blog, it doesn't detect/display correctly html code for me. It will show all the code. I thought this was pretty normal, and asked via my blog if there was a way to imbed links and images, or somehow get it to recognize html. Talking with super swell member who tried to help me for a few hours; she is as stumped as I am. She uses html in her blog, and it displays fine for her.

-I've tried posting hyper links/images into my blog in Firefox and IE.
-She copy and pasted my code onto her own blog and it appeared fine to her.
-We both looked for any options to turn on/off any possible blog format setting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

I've had similar problems. I thought it was because they use formats similar to some forums, with [] brackets but I guess it doesn't. There was some kind of embedding thing, but it didn't want to work whenever I went to upload any files.

Elae commented on my blog how she gets it to post images (and I believe it would work with links too):

Html doesn't work, as far as I can see... after a lot
of frustrating experimentation, I tried writing out my
entry in word if I wanted pictures. I did the "insert
from file" and put in the image that way, then
copy-pasted it all into the blog-editor. It'll come up
with big blank where the image was, but then right
click that blank, and go to "image editor" (or
something similar), and it'll have a section where you
can put in the actual url of the image. You'll be able
to see it in your blog-writing-box. I have no idea if
there's an easier way of doing things, sorry. :/
