    Hello helpers. I have a problem. Everything was going swimmingly for me until I copied text from another site and tried to make a new post on my site using this text. I pasted it in and then this happened.

    My theme is minima plus. I already deleted the post but the problem remains. I want my old site back. Help!!!! The problems are random bullets, the font changed on the nav bar in the upper right, and certain things are off in the sidebar it seems.

    -anybody have any ideas.

    thanks, dave

    This might clarify your issues – it looks like you have some really strange tags in there, like “submit=GO” and stuff that isn’t necessary. (Which also makes your site NOT valid strict (or transitional for that matter) if that’s an issue for you – some people don’t care about validity, which is fine, but it does help you find errors…)

    And for future reference (just in case you didn’t figure this one out for yourself already) copying and pasting will almost ALWAYS cause you problems. If you must, paste into something like notepad FIRST, then into the WP editor and mark up as necessary from there.
