  Hi disc440,

  Somehow, I am not seeing that the body of your blog is all italics. There are sections of a few posts like: “Housebound and Hating It…” and “A Sign of the Dimes!” that seemed to have been purposely formatted that way, but for the most part, most text is not italicized. Can you point out exactly where this is occurring?

  Martin, when I view it on my PC “everything” is italicized?

  I have done that and still the same. Apparently it’s an IE10 problem. The blog looks okay in Firefox. Why does WordPress have such an issue with IE?
