  hey guys,

  something very strange happened to my blog: sftheaterpub.wordpress.com. the sidebar is not longer working! the links at the top of the page should be in the side bar, and the four widgets that i have for my sidebar (links, archives, calendar, and twitter) are not showing up in the sidebar area. additionally, a random link to an april 9th post is floating by the blog title…

  i’m kind of pulling my hair out over this. i don’t quite know what happened.

  the address to the blog is: http://sftheaterpub.wordpress.com and i’m using the theme quintus (but it happens on every theme i try…) any help would be great!

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

  That’s because of bad HTML in your latest post. If you are familiar with HTML you can switch the editor to HTML and delete the extra div tags that are causing the issue; if not, go to Settings > Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes. Then edit your latest post, make any insignificant change to it (e.g. add then remove a space) and click Update.

  I have a similar issue, but it was not resolved by the instructions above. On my blog: http://jasonchristensen.wordpress.com/ the Delicious Widget is not showing the my recent bookmarks, like it used to. I have it set to show the 3 most recent bookmarks on my Delicious profile: http://delicious.com/jac_chicago. The Widget title, “Here’s something interesting” will take you to my Delicious page, but I’d really like the most recent bookmark links to show up again.
