Hi there,
Sidebars and widgets in them do not fall to the bottom and display below posts and/or posts do not appear in sidebars unless
(1) content has been imported into the blog
(2) the blogger has been copying and pasting content from elsewhere, without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
(3) or the blogger has copied and pasted invalid HTML into a text widget or left an HTML tag open
After you go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”For sorting this out see:

This is correct. @christinewjc, what did you copy this from? It seems to be trying to include header and body layout. Try pasting just the text, as the article @timethief shared recommends. Then you can go back and add images and formatting without altering the site layout.

Thanks to all for your advice. I am not very tech savvy, which is obvious since I have kept an old theme on my blog.
I now have a message about “autosave;” with side by side versions of my post. The one on the left has pink highlights and the other, green highlights as well as several /div written below. I’m just guessing here, but did my deletion of the /div at the end of the post cause the problem with the sidebar? Should I click on the “restore this autosave”?
Just guessing here, but my deletion of the /div

Fixed it! Thank you all for your advice and help! Appreciate it!
Sincerely,
