  Hello all:

  I am new to blogging and tried creating my first post today. After finishing my original post and posting it, I noticed that on the right hand column the text has been cut off. I tried searching the forums but couldn’t find anything to address my problem specifically. I dont really know anything about coding other than the most basics of html. If someone could help me out i’d appreciate it.

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

  I see what you mean. 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 ie. only 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. If 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
