Sorry, this blog is terrible at eating HTML comments.
If you're pasting any HTML/XML/MXML code, you need to convert your < characters to &lt; and your > characters to &gt; .

You can use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> <pre lang="" line="" escaped="">
