Formatting Is Messed Up Automatically

  I don’t use my blog as a blog. I use one page to add files to periodically (so there aren’t a bunch of posts). I have a lot of writing on that one page and now Im having problems.

  The way that I have formatted it (font, tab, justify, etc.) is all being automatically changed when I go to add something which means I have to spend an hour reformatting everything again everytime I add something.

  The page is here: http://daltonlifsey.com/resources/

  If I try to add a file, the whole page gets centered. And I want it just like it is. Any ideas?

  Thanks so much

  Are you posting into the visual editor or the html editor? Are you, horror of horrors, pasting from Word?

  More than likely You have an open tag without a closeed tag, in an earlier post.

  Probably an
  <aligncenter> without a align </aligncenter>

  one possible solution is:
  start with the earliest post you had a problem with and edit it.

  click on the “HTML” tab in the top right of the editor.
  click the “close Tags” button.
  save.

  Actually it looks like your just missing some brackets:

  This is a validation of your Page:

  unfortunatele this doesn’t tell you the exact location in the wordpress editor, but maybe you can find these open brackets

  Thanks a lot! The “close tags” thing worked.
