  anyone else have this problem? when you for example: put <font size=”4″> to change some text, but when you edit you find that the html was swapped with <span style=”font-size: medium;”> ?
  Does anyone else get this problem? i know i post alot but this is one main problem i noticed that concerns me.

  Yes. The font becomes smaller than I intended it to be. It’s very annoying isn’t it.

  Found the solution.

  In the HTML, put <span style=”font-family:arial; font-size:small;”> and you will get font in Arial, and size=2 equivalent of the old wordpress HTML.

  Good luck.

  Oh, and I think size=1 is “x-small” and size=3 is “medium.”

  oooh okay, thank you, this kinda sucks though because i use myspace to generate blog posts and i post them on wordpress.. so, just another hurdle to jump i guess.

  This is a problem. I like to use big letters on my blog, and the thingie changes it without asking.
