 * Ok well basically I’m trying to code a page in wordpress. The page I’m working
   on is live at [http://www.ourfortwayne.org/fort-wayne-parks/fox-island/](http://www.ourfortwayne.org/fort-wayne-parks/fox-island/)
 * Basically – I’ll code in what I want with <div> tags and etc (experienced in 
   CSS). Well after I save and view it – the page looks great. Well if I go to edit
   the page – all the code changes, for example <div> tags change to <p> tags. And
   due to this, once i save it, the page is all messed up. So I have to fix the 
   code EVERY time i want to edit a simple paragraph.
 * Anyone know the problem?

 * If you turn off the visual editing thing for your user in the user options then
   this behaviour will no-longer occur.
