What you get may differ form what you see

From the very first entry of this blog, I started having issues with the formating of itself. I'm using a editor that is embedded in the web, that editor also claims that "what you see is what you get". But in the practice what I get is a lot of empty "span" HTML tags, and similar stuff, for example the paragraphs are done using the HTML tag "div" instead of "p".

¡And I don't like it!

As I know my HTML ancient arts, I would prefer to have more control over what I will be posting, but then again I would like to do not have to think about it when I am writing. So I decided to write my HTML apart in a desktop software. I started using Geany, because it's what I use for web development (when I'm not on Visual Studio), and that's how I wrote my first article.

¡But it's not quite the same!

I have discovered that this blog preserves the new lines that I had in HTML, the result is that I had some lines where I didn't expect them. I may start searching for a software that does my posting with a better formatting.

In the meanwhile, I'll forget about the "span" atrocities, and just keep going on my writing of this blog.

Edit: So far I've fixed the format, I'm only using HTML to write posts, and telling blogger to do not insert new lines. Also always remember to use "p" in my HTML.
