  I need help!!! I was changing the font by adding code and now my side bar has disappeared! They are still in the widget outline but not showing up on my site. Also, two of my posts have merged together and I don’t know how to separate them. I think I deleted some code accidentally. Here is my site to see: Nest In Style.

  On “attracting wildlife…” on your “digg” tag at the bottom of the post, remove<font size="3"/>right ahead of it since it is not needed for the digg tag.

  Either that, our you need to remove the / from that beginning tag, and then provide an ending tag after the digg code.

  You’re missing an ending font tag after the digg code on “weed or not to weed” also.

  Could you take a look at my “whatever the occasion” post? See how the two posts blend together? How do I get the space between posts back? Also do you know why my side bar widgets are not showing up? They are in the outline of the appearance tab.

  I’m actually seeing quite a few problems that may be causing you issues, but to narrow things down, set your blog to display only one post per page (options > reading) and then go through them one at a time to see which one(s) are causing the problem.

  One thing I see is that the image in functional ivy is too wide for the theme. Rounded has a maximum of 650px wide and that image is 663px.

  How big can my images be?

  One thing I’m seeing is that you are not closing link html in virtually all cases. If you are using “code” view or have the visual rich text editor off, you can open your posts and use the “close tags” command.

  The proper syntax for a text link is<a href="put full link here">put text here</a>

  On whatever the occasion, you have a messed up ending div tag that is like this: <div/>instead of being like this </div>

  On the link html, you are missing the ending</a>

  If you go here, you will see that you have a lot of html errors (113) on your main page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnestinstyle.wordpress.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 .

  What you need to do is look it over and close all the html tags that are missing ending tags. It’s reporting a lot of missing ending ul tags.

  You can open the posts and use the “close tags” command in the code editor, but it may not put the ending tags where you would want them.

  You also have quite a few ending p tags that are incorrect<p/>instead of</p>
