dropped sidebar

    To begin with – not sure what version of WordPress it is or how to find that info on my page (http://raosyth.com/blog/). This tells you how big a n00b I am.

    Anyway: I added some content that was too wide to a text widget in my sidebar, and the bar dropped down below the posts. I removed the offending content and the entire text widget, but the sidebar remains dropped – not on individual posts, just on the home page.

    I read about it on your forum and did a validation, which uncovered 61 (!) errors in syntax. However, I cannot figure out where to find the source code the validation checked. When I view the page’s source code in my browser, I see something completely different. So I do not know how I can either fix the code, or save a backup before asking the validator to automatically fix the code.

    As you can see, I have a lot of basic questions. I’ll appreciate any help you can give me.

    in the post ‘Poetry Friday’ there is an excess <div> right at the start of the post content – you will need to switch to the html mode of the post editor to see and remove that.

    <div id=”attachment_665″ class=”wp-caption alignleft” style=”width: 209px;”>

    You should get rid of style="width: 209px;"

    You have margins specified for #content in style.css on line 456 as well as line 71. Try setting a width for that (700px looks pretty good) instead of using margins, and also set #content to float: left;

    alchymyth – Thank you very much! Removing that <div> fixed the problem.

    Jonas Grumby – thank you! Which post is that string in, so I can fix it too?
