  Suddenly my blogposts (pictures) won’t show up when I, or anyone else enter the site. I don’t understand why! It’s been like this for the last five posts…(and never been like this before). The posts show on preview and when I’ve just posted them (also when I post it on Facebook), but not if you enter the site.
  I’ve tried for several days to figure out the answer on wordpress.com, but I’m clueless. Please help me?

  Hey there,

  With the help of Kathryn, another Happiness Engineer, I’ve found the cause of your problem.

  Many of your posts include a rather large assortment of HTML. One particular post, entitled Sadhu, included a lot of opened HTML tags that weren’t closed.

  When you enter your post, ensure that every tag is closed properly as you add it. For instance, Sadhu had several cases of tags like that looked like this:

  <dl><dt>Some content...</dt><dd>Some more content...

  <dl><dt>Some content...</dt><dd>Some more content...

  You’ll note that the corresponding </dd></dl> was never included; this caused your page to be displayed oddly.

  Kathryn and I have gone through and fixed all of your existing posts. In the future, make sure that your HTML is well-formatted before you submit your post so the issue doesn’t recur.

  Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

  Best,
  P.

  WOW!! Thank you sooo much!!!!
  Everything looks really good now!! I’ll remember that in the future!

  -But only one more thing…..how do I know that the tag is closed? Or how do I close it?

  Thank you again so much.
  best from Cathrine

  Don’t include code if you don’t know how to write code, period. And NEVER copy-paste from Word or elsewhere on the web; this is one cause of unclosed tags.

  But to protect your blog in future, go to Dashboard->Settings->Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” which makes it automatically close your unclosed tags for all future posts.
