Did this happen only after your most recent post?

There is some real strange looking things going on with that first post and I’m not sure what is going on with it. I would suggest doing it over. When you past in the text from word, on the extended tool bar, use the “paste as text” icon (little “T” on the icon). Then go back and put in the images.

After you have put in the images and gotten everything as you wish, and before publishing it, use the “clean up messy code again” to make sure the image html is not messed up.

I wish I had a better solution, but I don’t.

@tsp: What is weird with the most recent post? It looks pretty much normal to me.

In firebug, I’m seeing the image href in there twice which is really weird. I’ve looked at some of mine and it’s only in there once, so it isn’t some sort of normal strangeness.

I see this:

<p><a title="dscn2887.jpg" href="http://traderjanki.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/dscn2887.jpg"/></p>

And then this right below it:
```
style="text-align: center;">
<a title="dscn2887.jpg" href="http://traderjanki.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/dscn2887.jpg">
<img width="316" height="244" alt="dscn2887.jpg" src="http://traderjanki.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/dscn2887.jpg?w=316&h=244"/>
</a>
```

@tsp: Yeah, there is something with the images. When I turned all images off using the Web Developer toolbar on Firefox, the sidebar came back to it’s normal position. There’s definitely something fishy in there.

Oh wait, I was on the wrong page. Removing the images didn’t make any difference, the sidebar is still at the bottom.

Yeah, it’s the same clear down through “the fruit lunch box”. “Books and pie” is OK though.

These posts need to be redone or worked over in code view to remove the extraneous href’s:

– bombay masala at pizzeria
– would you like a coke with that dosa?
– khichdi is a festival food
– the fruit lunch box

Since your posts are full of (quite good-looking) photos, I would restrain the number of posts per page to 5 or even less. Even though I have a really fast DSL connection, your page takes pretty long to load. If you are composing your posts in Word, you should stop. It really includes code that will mess up any blog page.

I agree with claudecf – the pages are slow to load. Have you optimized your images before posting? http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/

Reducing the number of posts on your front page so it loads faster is done here -> Options -> Reading (change the number of posts and click “Update Options”)

Happy Blogging! :)

thanks! also could someone help me on how to optimize my images in picasa? i have been poking around in it but i don’t know what to do- i know this is not the picasa help forum but i thought i’d ask bc i looked up optimizing in picasas help and can’t find anything.
