The Two Commandments of Blogger

Learned from bitter experience...

1. Don't copy and paste from anywhere else, unless you have no special formatting such as lists or fonts. If you do, you will end up retyping your post anyway because Blogger incorrectly converts the formatting. I have tried this from a number of different sources including Google Documents and somehow the text after lists always ends up with the wrong linespacing.
2. Don't trust the preview. In scenario above, the preview looks fine. When I post, however, the linespacing is messed up and I have to "Save as Draft" to pull the post and re-edit it. This happens in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Thanks to my son for his help and suggestions.
