 * I’ve been up and down my code a couple of times and can’t find the open tag (
   at least that’s what I’m assuming it is)…
 * Could someone give me a fresh pair of eyes.

 * What do you mean by open tag? An unclosed HTML tag? Missing </div> tag? What?

 * Every other post has an “alt” class in the surrounding <div…> tag – like this:
 * <div class=”hentry alt2 post publish author-admin category-uncategorized untagged
   y2009 m01 d29 h13 alt” id=”post-17″>
 * So that “alt” class changes the H2 A tag style (e.g. the < a href … > tag that
   wraps the post title) for the post heading. With the “alt” class the CSS style
   for the “A” tag is this:
 *     ```
       .alt a {
       -x-system-font:none;
       color:#F5F5F5;
       font-family:"Lucida Grande",Geneva,Helvetica,sans-serif;
       font-size:10px;
       font-size-adjust:none;
       font-stretch:normal;
       font-style:normal;
       font-variant:normal;
       font-weight:lighter;
       letter-spacing:1px;
       line-height:1;
       margin-right:1px;
       padding:10px;
       text-decoration:none;
       text-transform:uppercase;
       }
       ```
   
 * Without the “alt” class the CSS is this:
 *     ```
       a {
       color:#555555;
       text-decoration:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * So there are 3 basic ways to fix that problem:
 * – Delete the “alt a” class from your style sheet if you don’t want to use it (
   check around line 67)
 * – Find the code in your theme files that injects the “alt” class in the post 
   title < a … > wrappers and remove that code
 * – Adjust the “alt a” class styling to meet your needs (in your theme’s style.
   css file, again look around line 67)
