Sounds like you have JavaScript disabled for this site. There is a live preview feature available, but it necessarily requires JavaScript to work; without JS enabled, it just... won't.

As for your bullet points, this is a feature of Markdown (though "feature" is questionable...). Any line that starts with a number and a period, i.e. `1.` or `2.` is treated as a bullet point in a list and put into an `ol` HTML element. These elements number their items automatically. When you have a list item, followed by a block of content that's _not_ part of that list item, then another list item, they are treated as two separate lists, and numbering starts again at 1.

You can solve this by making the block of content in the middle part of the preceding list item. In your case, you've got an image between points 1 and 2 that splits the list; if you make that image part of point 1, it should display no differently but number the lists correctly - you can do that by indenting the line containing the image with four (or more) spaces.

I've edited the post for you to fix its display; if you follow the edit link yourself, you'll be able to see the changes to the Markdown I've made to make it work.
