  Do this first please:
  Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  Then if you are copying and pasting form WORD see here please:

  Microsoft WORD is not web compliant code and when copying and pasting text from WORD we must use icon icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  If that doesn’t work see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/layout-issues/#sidebar and http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

  Thanks! I’m still not able to figure it out…way to technical for me. I did the first part and get lost when I have to go deeper into the html issue.

  Please understand that we Volunteers do not have backend access to blogs and cannot rest anything. You have an issue that’s very common. It’s usually caused by copying and pasting. What causes it is usually an open HTML tag in whatever was copied and pasted.

  Please go here > Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)
