Sidebars suddenly listed as “Next Entries”
-
On http://teachingofkindness.wordpress.com, my 3 sidebars in “Fjord” suddenly disappeared from my main Home page! They have reappeared as “Next Entries” underneath my blog posts in the first column, and if I click on “Next Entries” this page appears: http://teachingofkindness.wordpress.com/page/2/ and everything looks fine… how can I make my current entries show up like they used to?!
Please help!!!! -
I think that has happened because you’ve done some font formatting in the “Monday Morning’s” post. And I think some tag must have been left opened and that’s why your sidebars are going below your posts. Try removing all the extra font formatting you’ve done in all the posts and that should bring things back to normal.

First thing I would do is turn off the snow. It’s a cool idea, but by the time I bring it up and do a little searching for the problem, it has brought my browser to it’s knees. I think the code for the snow needs a little work.
I think the problem is in the “Monday morning – December 24th post. It appears like it was copied off the web or something as it has a font size 2 tag applied twice. Either go into code view and remove the font size tags by hand or use the “remove all formatting button on the extended toolbar (icon g). Alternately you could copy all the text into a text editor (notepad or textedit) then delete all the text in the post, and then paste the text you copied to the text editor back in.

When you view:
http://teachingofkindness.wordpress.com/2007/12/24/monday-mornings-december-24-2007/#more-38
Everything looks normal. So is it that post, or is it somehow affecting the way all the posts on the main page are displayed? -

Open your “monday morning – December 24th” post for edit. While in the visual editor, click somewhere within the text of the post and do a select all (ctrl-a windows or cmd-a mac) and then click on the last icon on the right end of the tool bar. This will bring up a second row of icons. Click on the one that looks like a brush or small whisk broom (if you hover your mouse over it a tooltip box will come up that says (clean up messy code). Click on that icon. Then save the post and go to your main blog page and you will see that your problem with the sidebar is gone.
I suspect that you either pasted that from off the web, or from a word processing program which put in all sort of messed up code which is causing the problem.

I had no idea you replied to me until today – THANK YOU for your help! Unfortunately, I tried your solution and it did not work. I tried it for the Dec 24th posting you mentioned and for the next 2 posts as well. It makes the individual posts look perfect, but not the home page. I so appreciate your help. Do you have any other ideas?

I did copy the Dec 24th entry from Microsoft Word, but intentionally made the font size=”2″ because I had complaints from readers that the type on my blog was too small to read….
-
OK!!!!!!!!! I went in and hand-edited out all the font size=”2″ code that was extraneous, and everything is fine with the blog. I guess I had made such a mess that the messy code tool couldn’t do it alone. THANK YOU for your help!

I’m seeing all three sidebars on your main page in FF and in Safari 3 on Mac.
On you second page, the Google video will cause problems since it is bigger than your main column. That’s a unfortunate side effect of this theme. The main post column is too narrow really for anything other than text.
When setting your text to size 2 it appears like the font tag was not closed which is causing all the text in your side bars to be larger also and causing formatting issues. What you need to do is close the font tag before the “read more” tag and then reopen it after the “read more” tag. That way it will not effect your sidebars.
If you need larger text, you might be better off selecting a theme with larger text. This theme has severe limitations and even if you got the CSS upgrade, enlarging the text will likely cause other problems.
