 * I added a post to the standard blog theme and it messed it up. I tried asking
   for help and I got no response. So I backed up the database, reinstalled wp and
   restored the database and it appears that the error is in the database itself.
   If anyone could take a look at it I would really appreciate it. [http://www.drapelyk.com](http://www.drapelyk.com)

 * What is the error you are getting? Are you sure it in the DB?
 * It appears to me that you have an error in your mark up or CSS. Maybe you didnt
   close a <div>? Assuming that you are talking about the style errors.
 * Try chaning themes, and see if the error occurs in another theme, then you will
   know if it is in the DB.

 * a theme change yields nothing
    I haven’t edited anything. I’ve just been posting
   entries.

 * tis all good, it was a </div> tag that was left out somehow… I guess that should
   be reported as a bug?
