Well that preview page doesn’t seem to work. I have gone ahead and published that post so I can show you what I am talking about. Hopefully, someone can respond to this soon. Thanks!

The webpage is seriuosly awry in IE. Do not copy and paste from MSWord to your post. Clean up your posts by deleting the extraneous codes from MSWord which you will see when you click on HTML view. Or, open your webpage, copy and paste to notepad/bbedit. Copy and paste from that text file.

Hi Mercime,
Thanks so much. And forgive my technical ignorance (I’m very new to this) However, I have never cut and pasted from MSWord – and I have no idea how to even spot the “extraneous codes” that you mention.
Can you clarify further for me?

Also, I am just noticing that in IE, when you are in the “enter Photo-Blog” link from the static home page, the columns on the left are all displaying incorrectly – the tops of the columns are cut off. And if this matters at all – these columns and the “footer” never used to display at all until recently when this other problem started.

So, what exactly is the problem? Your footer looks weird in the sense that it crosses over 3 columns, is this what you’re referring to? If so, where should it be/how do you want it to be?

Yes, damienk – that is exactly the problem (as well as the top of the 2 left sidebars getting cut off at the top). This never happened before and does not happen in Safari. The footer has always appeared at the bottom of the last post down at the bottom of the page.
Any ideas?
Another question, the bits and pieces such as the copyright and the W3C compliant, are those part of the footer that you were just mentioning, ie they show up right underneath the content?
SDavis, the ff are just some examples of extraneous codes you will find in many of your posts when you go to Admin > Manage > Posts and open up a post link — change view from Visual Editor to HTML
`<p class=”MsoNormal”><span style=”font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;”><span style=”font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;”>NEW YORK SPORTS CLUB COMES TO THE BRONX – Parkchester</span></span></p>
<p class=”MsoNormal”><span style=”font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;”><span style=”font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;”>See you in Spin Class!</span></span></p>`
The above e.g. should look like this in your Manage > Post > edit post panel in HTML view
`NEW YORK SPORTS CLUB COMES TO THE BRONX – Parkchester
See you in Spin Class!`
Do you see what I mean? The extraneous codes should not have been there in the first place. Only copy and paste from notepad/bbedit to your WordPress Write-Post panel

Yes, Mercime – I see what you mean. I guess I have been doing this wrong from the very beginning. I have been typing directly into the panel (the Visual panel, not the HTML). So what you are saying is that should correct the problem?
And damienk – yes that is what I am calling the “footer”.
Thanks to you both for your help.

I just “unpublished” the post that seemed to have triggered the problem – now the “footer” problem has disappeared. So, maybe I will start over with the previous (problem) post (copying and pasting text from Notepad) and see how that goes going forward.
So I am still confused why this particular post presented a problem when I created it exactly the same way I have done all the others, but I will redo it and keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks again guys, for your time and responses. I will keep checking back if you have any other words of advice for me.
<p class="MsoNormal"> comes from pasted MS Word or Microsoft Office text.
You have code errors that need fixing. Don’t use u tags in links. Adjust the underline of links with css.
