    Hello, can’t seem to get this issue resolved on my own. I have random text appearing above my header and in the left-hand column a little ways down. I would like to delete it and also know what is causing it.
    Thank you, jen :)

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

    Hi Jennifer, you have a few pieces of code with positioning defined on them that is throwing off your display. You can see this code if you switch your editor to Text view on the affected posts.

    For example, this post had a few instances of this code:

    <div id="stcpDiv" style="position:absolute;top:-1999px;left:-1988px;">

    This can happen if you paste in text from a rich-text program or from another website, which is looks like what you may have done here. I recommend that if you’re not composing directly in the editor, that you only paste text from a plain text document, like Notepad, so you don’t carry over any stray formatting.

    A few other posts may still have this problem and will need to have the problematic code edited out – see:

    I suggest you have a look through your most recent posts, switch to Text view by clicking on the tab at the top of the editor, and remove all the positioning code like the example I gave above. Just remove the whole bit of code, as well as the closing div tag at the end of the block, which looks like this: 

    </div>

    Repeat this for all your posts until there is no more mispositioned text.

    Just let me know if you need further help.

    Kathy, thank you so much. I was able to get the random text cleared and should be able to stay on top of.

    I have this text after a link on my home page but the link opens to blog page. Need to delete text and unsure how to do that.

    An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

    Thx, jen :)

    It looks like there is something wrong with this feed, so that error is being displayed instead:

    http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommentsOnTheblazeTvBlog

    Did you mean to link to a comment feed, rather than the feed for the blog itself? You could try visiting the site to locate an RSS feed for the blog instead of just the comments, and seeing if that works better.
