 * Hello
 * I’ve just written my first post but when it’s published, none of the text formatting
   is displayed. For example, words I entered as _italic_ are just displayed as 
   normal copy. It makes no difference whether it’s specified in the HTML or “Visual”
   post editor thing. When returning to edit the post in the admin area, the _ tags
   have been removed._
 * Have I missed something?
