  One of my pages is all out of whack. The background pattern is all of a sudden everywhere so the posts cannot be seen.

  I haven’t done anything beyond trying to update and load pictures to this page… and think this is part of the ‘theme’ and therefore something I shouldn’t be able to change anyway!
  Help!

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

  I tried that and no luck. Thanks, though. It doesn’t seem to be a problem with what I’m posting, but rather a problem with the actual page setup of the blog… or the theme. The background image that normally sits on either side of the white are on which my blog is posted is now everywhere so the text box is no longer white…

  Do you mean this page? http://ciburbanity.com/project-gallery/

  Yes. All the others seem fine… this one, as you can see, isn’t right.

  No, it’s because of messed up code in the content of that page. You need to
  a) follow the advice raincoaster linked to, because it’s correct advice;
  b) delete the second and third images and re-insert them, making sure you don’t tamper with the captions after inserting the images.

  Thank you! Deleting the pics did the trick. How were you able to tell those two were the problem? Probably a more complicated answer that I’ll understand… but thanks! Wish I understood much much more about the coding. One day…

  You’re welcome.

  To see the complete code of your posts you need to visit your blog and select View Source from the View menu of your browser.

  a) You had an extra closing div tag – re which see here:
  http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

  b) The code of a captioned image normally starts with this:
  <div class="wp-caption ETC ETC ETC

  A faulty captioned image starts with these:

  <dl ETC
  <dt ETC ETC ETC

  But messed up captioned images are usually easy to tell if you check the actual post or page, because in most cases there will be some visual differentiation (in your case the captions of the two problem images weren’t centered and italicized like the rest).
