Valentine's Day art fests! (& a technical question)

[bluespirit]

The annual Valentine's Day art fests are running again over at sgaartvalentine & h5oartvalentine.

If you'd like to take part as an artist or leave a prompt for some art that you'd like to see, then do pop over & check out the details. (It's a very easy-going challenge with very few rules. *g*)

Also - can anyone help me out please?
In the past, I've done the text area thing that let's a little box show with code for copying & pasting.  But I tried to do this yesterday (to allow the art fest banners to be pimped) & it didn't work - the text inside got changed. :(
I tried to edit it, but it kept changing parts of the code etc to weird stuff.

Edit:
Yay! Sorted - I needed to tick the 'stop auto-format' option in the HTML version.
Thanks to saphirablue & tashirasbubble for the help. :)

Aaagh! I think that's what I must have done.
I've tried it as HTML only (& ticked the 'stop auto-formatting option') & it worked!
Thank you kindly. :)

:) You are welcome. I had once to fight (and search and search and search) with this too until I discovered that the RTE messed the coding up...
