 * Does anyone have any ideas this problem. When clicking on several post meta categories
   or tags [here](http://drusillacampbell.com/blog/) the archive pages are messed
   up (overlapping of several pages). Here is archive.php file and css.
 * Thanks

 * for instance the ‘may 2012’ archive has this error:
    _ Line 200, Column 6: end
   tag for element “div” which is not open _

 * ‘april 2012’ has these errors (two extraneous `</div>`):
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdrusillacampbell.com%2F2012%2F04%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdrusillacampbell.com%2F2012%2F04%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
 * double-check the archive.php template for correctly paired opening/closing divs.
 * it seems that there is one too many `</div>` within the loop; and one missing
   after the loop.

 * Thank You. Here is Archives.php. It looks fine. I will have to check elsewhere.

 * no – it does not.
 * if you label any closing `</div>` with the css class or id of the opening div,
   you should see that there is one in excess; within the loop, and one missing 
   after the loop.

 * Oh, I think I get it…the loop was not done and a wrench had been thrown in it.
 * Thank you so much. This is why I love WordPress and it’s community for helping
   out young developers. I will return the favor as my expertise grows.
