Backing color of text box not showing up on homepage, but only on the homepage
-
I’m running the Forever theme and in the last five days, the background for the text box (not the background image for the blog) hasn’t shown up on the homepage, but only the homepage.
All of the other pages load correctly, including the pages with the rest of the posts. The theme worked correctly for a month and then screwed up this past week. Here’s a screenshot of one of the pages that IS loading correctly: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/candy_alien/Screenshot2013-07-29at95039AM.png
And here’s a screenshot of the homepage without the color behind the text: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/candy_alien/Screenshot2013-07-29at95027AM.png
As you can see, it makes the text almost unreadable. I’ve checked it on multiple computers and it loads the same way on each of them, so I know it’s not my computer. I did empty my cache just do be sure, but of course it did nothing. I tried loading a different theme (it loaded properly) and then reloading this theme, but I still get the same problem. How do I make my homepage legible again?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

A friend found this error, but I can’t get to the code to fix it: I have found your problem, it is in your HTML code! You have a div called <div id=”page” class=”hfeed”> which is the part of your website that has the style rule for the white color background and that all of your content lives in. On your other pages this div extends to include your footer, on your homepage it does not, the ending for that div </div> comes right before your footer (<footer id=”colophon” role=”contentinfo”>) starts. This is causing your style rules to break on your homepage. All you need to do is move the </div> to after your footer ends (</footer>) on your homepage and this should fix the problem (as it was the only problem I found). I really hope this helps!
I have the free WordPress and I’ve never been able to access the code (I was really hoping a pre-made theme would prevent me from having to deal with coding…sigh.) How did this error even happen? It worked for a month, so how did it change without me having access to the code, and how can I change it back? Please help! :(

It appears there’s some malformed HTML code for an image caption in your blog post entitled “Cultural Thursday: The birth of the modern guitar.”
Try editing that blog post and reinserting the images to see if this fixes the issue.
