  My blog’s sidebar entirely moved on its own. I have no idea how that happened. The sidebar contained ARCHIVES, CATAGORIES, PAGES, BLOGROLL, ETC., It has moved to the very bottom of the site. Can you let me know how this can be rectified?

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

  Hello there,

  Sidebars and widgets in them do not fall to the bottom and display below posts
  and/or posts and/or posts do not appear in sidebars
  and/or text does not change to italics or bold
  unless:

  (1) content has been imported into the blog

  (2) the blogger has been copying and pasting content from elsewhere, without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  (3) or the blogger has copied and pasted invalid HTML into a text widget or left an HTML tag open

  See here for sorting this out > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

  (4) to prevent this happening in the future go here > Settings > Writing and enable:
  Formatting
  __ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

  Thanks. I’ll look into what you’ve suggested for future posts. I realized that I had a picture on a particular post that was taking too much space. I reduced the size of the picture and the sidebar fell back into place.
