Insert More tag issue
-
I inserted the MORE tag into a post, published it and visited the blog.
The post was exactly as I expected, a few lines with a MORE link to read the entire post.
HOWEVER, the content background was GONE!!Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
When I remove the tag and republish the background returns.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It appears like you removed the more tag so I can’t really say for sure.
I can offer a few things that will keep you out of trouble with the more tag though. First always put it on its own line, not at the end of a paragraph. If you have a block of formatted text (bold, italic, or where you have changed the color or similar) end that formatting before inserting the more tag. Never put a more tag within a blockquote, ordered or unordered list.
All of the above can cause the themes to go wonky because it ends up separating beginning and ending HTML tags for formatting, etc.

OK you can see the damage now.
I put the tag on it’s own line and still have the same prob. -
W3C’s XHTML validator is reporting a missing ending div tag, but it is in the body section (div id=”rap”). #rap is in your CSS, but I don’t see any issues there.
I’m afraid I’m at a loss.
It only happens when you put in a more tag? The more tag is placed correctly.
I checked your CSS with the W3C validator ( http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fflowersconnexion.wordpress.com%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en ) and on #rap it reported this under warnings:
Family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the name are ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the name is converted to a single space.

If there is a problem with the syntax of the font family that’s on WordPress as I have not edited any font families.
So are we thinking this issue needs to be elevated to BUG status? -
I’m not entirely sure what they are referring to there. What I quoted was exactly what was reported by W3C and there is no font family in #rap in your CSS there is however in the original CSS.
#rap { background:url('http://flowersconnexion.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/bg_transparent.png') repeat 0 0; border:1px solid #FFCC99; margin:230px auto 0; }This could be something wrong with the theme itself that will require staff intervention.
You can give them this link when you contact them: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fflowersconnexion.wordpress.com%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 which shows the error, and tells where it appears.

And actually for some reason that link broke. It contains everything through th e=0 on the third line
