 * I am importing content from chimp rewriter…it is basically a spin writer program&
   the html gets stripped out after I import to my blog. I think this is a WP problem
   though, as it also occurred with another program i tried out the other day. Also
   their help desk thinks it is my blog.
 * Anyway, you can see the problem here:

 * Can you post an example of what comes out of Chimp Rewriter? Maybe post it at
   pastebin.com then put the link in here.

 * How does the import happen. What’s the bridge between Chimp and WordPress?

 * No but when you say you’re importing from it, what does that?

 * I don’t know….I just hit the submit article button and it posts them to my blog.
   I already have my blogs username and password stored in the chimp rewriter software.
 * honestly i think it is something with my wordpress account though. the chimp 
   rewriter tech support said he had never seen this happening before.

 * do you have any sort of import software? my blog is currently set to allow anyone
   to register and post if that will help you…perhaps you could test it out with
   any type of import software you have.

 * If you can post normally to WordPress and the problem only arises when you use
   Chimp Rewriter, I think it’s safe to assume it’s Chimp that’s the cause of the
   problem, despite what the tech support says.

 * ok the ordered list shows up okay when i put it directly from WP.
 * but i still dont think it is chimp rewriter. i had this problem with another 
   program as well.
