Summary: This is an Internet Explorer-related problem and may take a while to solve, but you can get around it by using a different browser. Inconvenient, sorry! We're working on it!
A couple of users recently pointed out that they were having problems adding links and images to their blog posts. For a while I wasn't able to reproduce it, but when I switched to Internet Explorer I saw the problem immediately.
As far as I can tell, the bug is connected to the 3rd party component we use for editing HTML and is exclusive to Internet Explorer. Basically, the HTML editor fails to load, and you end up with a plain old text box.
I just spend an hour on it and unfortunately it's a very strange bug and may take some time. It also makes just no sense that it would suddenly appear now, since we haven't changed anything. Very weird.
I will post updates to this discussion post as we make progress. In the meantime you should still be able to post HTML content if you use a different browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. They're all good browsers (and you might even like them better than Internet Explorer).
Apologies again for the inconvenience!
ps - if any of you are tech folks and have ideas on this, I'm all ears!
