  My template is supposed to have a white background, but now it’s appearing as grey, and I can’t see the search field, categories, or any of the stuff on the right side of the screen.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You’ve broken the theme because you’v got bad html in at least one post (the “Vander Bar” one). Go to Settings>Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes. Then edit the post (make any insignificant change, e.g. add then remove a space) and click Update Post. If that doesn’t correct things, repeat for the rest of your recent posts.

  You’re welcome. Sidebar at the bottom etc. is typically caused by an unclosed html tag somewhere, affecting the rest of the page. If you leave that Writing option on, this particular problem won’t appear again.
