Sidebar Pushed Down
-
Hi:
I added two new posts, and my sidebar was moved way down to the bottom of the page. I thought it was the fault of the posts, so I put them as Draft, but that made no difference. (Now they are back to published.)
Sometimes, I have had problems with image sizes, but I don’t think that is the case here. How can I get the sidebar back up?
Thanks,
LichanosThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you talking about the blog linked to your name? Because its sidebar is quite alright.
-
maybe if you have lots and lots and lots of posts on that page you might not be able to fit more you could delete the posts if thats the reason

Yes, the blog linked to my name. When I click and view, it is NOT all right. It IS okay on the BY WAY OF EXPLANATION PAGE, but not on the HOME where the posts are.

I’m old fashioned. I don’t know what ‘props’ means, and I use ‘all right.’ I do not, however, subscribe to lexicographic prescriptivism. Let 1000 flowers bloom.
Re browser…I am using IE6.0 at work. I cannot use Firefox here. Perhaps an IE thing? Above the box into which I am now typing, it says “eave a Reply.” The ‘L’ is missing. That does not bode well, does it? Never happened before. Something going on with WordPress <–> today??

Actually, it’s not an IE problem per se, but an IE6 problem. It looks fine in IE8. Won’t your company consider upgrading? It’s free. IE6 is notoriously bad and is all but obsolete. It’s 8 years old.
Props is a good thing and there’s nothing wrong with being old-fashioned and correct. It drives me (and every one of the many editors I’ve had over the years)crazy that so many words that are mis-used or don’t really exist worm their way into the less-reliable and less-scholarly dictionaries of American English, I suppose in the spirit of, If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Or it’s further dumbing down. [end of soapbox!}

Funny that the IE6 problem manifested itself only now. Of course, I only switched themes a few days ago from Kubrick to this one, but still. Shouldn’t it have shown up before now?? Anyway, I have no say over what IT does here…
Remember that language is always evolving. Saying “Me and you will have a good time,” was perfectly okay a few hundred years ago. Still, in an age of information, it’s nice to follow standards, so I speak Standard English. I just don’t get too upset about others who don’t. If I did, I’d be fighting with children far more than I care to.

Oh yeah, is there anything I can do to remove the problem in IE6? As I said, it appeared only this morning.

You have some curly quotes that might be a problem. The source code looks like this:
saying, “<em>It’s done, over. Stop raising problems, you cranks. Shut up and sit down! Now, let’s make policy!! </em>“You can change them in the editor, either deleting them in the visual editor and replacing with ordinary keyboard quotes or, if you can see them in the html editor, you can remove the ampersands, pound signs, numbers and semi-colons and replace them with plain quotation marks.
Of course language evolves. And sometimes it capitulates. ;)

Well,even if I remove the two new posts, the problem is still there. And if I click on the post title so that I see ONLY that post, the problem is NOT there…

In the post, the eternal subjectivity, Firebug is indicating their is an issue with the second smaller image.
1. Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and click “save changes.”
2. Open that post, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “update post.” Hopefully wordpress will automatically correct the issue with that image HTML for you.
In the post, night thoughts, there is also what appears to be an extra HTML link at the bottom of that post, below the last image HTML.

Well, no luck with any of that. Looks fine at home on Firefox and IE7. Weird that it would start happening suddenly.
