  On my blog http://grandcentralsports.wordpress.com, the fonts keep showing up on the posts in different sizes and the right side navigation appears below the posts at the bottom. I have checked the HTML code for this multiple times and have no idea why it keeps doing this. Please help.

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The sidebar and fonts are two separate issues. Search the FAQ for sidebar on the bottom for information.

  And while you’re there, search for Why Not to Paste From Word. This is only a sample of your problem, and I assume the MS is Microsoft:

  <p class="MsoNormal">Until Jeremy Bonderman can show that he is ready to strike out major league hitters, Rick Porcello is responsible for plugging that hole in the rotation and keeping the motowners afloat in the division. As the game gets into the later innings, hitters will first have to go through Ryan Perry if they want a show at Fernando Rodney, the Tigers’ closer. Both players have shown, in the first seven games, that even though they are merely kittens they will not give a furry little inch to the major league’s toughest hitters.</p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span id="more-156"></span></p>

  Use the clean up code button on posts that you’ve pasted. If need be, copy them to a plain text editor, such as Notepad, and clean them up by hand.

  /nod to ella, yes the “MsoNormal” designates “MicroSoft Office Normal” style.

  @tonybosma

  First suggestion is to go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and click “save changes.”

  The do as Ella suggests and open each post, select everything in the post, and click the “remove formatting” button on the lower toolbar. Then click “update post.” Between that action, and setting wordpress to correct invalid code, it should clean things up for you.

  Thanks for the feedback. I will explore these options. I was confused by the display of my page because it just recently started displaying like that. I didn’t realize other posters were posting from Word.

  Thanks a lot.
