Posts show up centered, pushing sidebar to bottom of page
-
Hi all, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I’m not sure what’s going on with my blog — starting with the second post down, all posts appear centered and running all the way to the right side of the page. This pushes the sidebar to the bottom of the screen.
I tried changing themes but that wasn’t the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I suspect that that you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor. Please see here so you know how to do this correctly in the future. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
The reason your sidebar has fallen and is displaying below your posts is either due to copying and pasting or a result of importing text containing invalid HTML.
Typically this is caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts and you must find it and close it.
Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and 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 in the post you indicate above “the second post down” 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.
