I actually just deleted your post in the test forum--as I'm sure you're aware, it was causing the thread to display incorrectly.
However, it appears that you are actually using the "View Source" command in IE since your post had some HTML that wouldn't be there otherwise.
You need to actually click the "View Source" button that appears on the page that results from using the HTML Maker and copy the text it displays there. You should never be seeing an < HTML> tag, for example.
