    Help! I added some blog posts to http://www.valleyoutdoors.wordpress.com and everything appeared fine on my home computer, but when I checked it at work it looks totally out of whack!! Have not had this happen before– the second post takes up the whole sidebar and shifts the sidebar to the very bottom right. Even if I delete the post that has shifted another one just takes its place. Any thougts or justa glitch???
    Thanks

    Sounds like the work computer has a different screen resolution than the home computer. Since you use all of the space for your pictures, if you switch to a computer with less resolution, you can sometimes “crowd” the sidebar right out.

    The usual solution is to switch to a theme that has a wider content column, or to shrink your images so you’ve got 10 pixels of space on either side of them.

    Blix is a quirky theme.
    Re: sidebar contents falling and displaying under the posts
    This is typically caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts.

    Go to settings > Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “Save Changes.”

    Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal. If not, open the next post and do the same thing until it goes back to normal.
