  Hi. My blog posts near the bottom changed and now the page is streched and weird.

  If someone could help me out, I’d be grateful.

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

  Hi. My best guess is that you made an unclosed HTML tag in the following post:
  http://lockeroomgirl.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/hello-%E2%97%8F%C2%B4%E2%88%80%EF%BD%80%E2%97%8F/

  Go to Settings > Writing > WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically and make sure this setting is checked. Then go back to the post linked above and save it. See if that helps.

  Most likely you have an open HTML tag in a post.

  Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “save changes.”

  Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, switch from the visual tab to the HTML tab (waiting for the page to refresh) and then switch back to the visual tag (again waiting for it to refresh), and then click “update post.” Check your blog and if it is back to normal, you are golden. If not, open the next post and do the same thing till it goes back to normal.

  This is usually a result of bad HTML and frequently caused by importing content or by copying and pasting from eleshere. Please do this first > Settings > Writing
  enable __ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  then click “Save changes”

  Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal.

  If it’s not, then look for an open HTML tag and close it. Check your blog again and see if it is back to normal. If it’s still “messed up” then open the next post and do the same thing post by post until it goes back to normal.

  Best wishes with your blog. :)
