  On adding preformatted tags the content boxes on the right has jumped to bottom, which looks
  very odd. Look at http://nibuthomas.wordpress.com

  I’m not seeing it in Firefox. This sometimes happens when you’ve included an image that is too wide for the column in which you’ve placed it; is that code you’ve posted part of a set-width image? I’ve noticed this error happens in IE much more than in FF, for whatever reason.

  Thanks raincoaster,

  It’s happening in IE. The preformatted text width is a bit wide, I guess that’s the reason. But I cannot help since it’s a programming blog. Preformatted tags is what programmers want in a their blog.

  Maybe you could check http://engtech.wordpress.com as he has analyzed various WP.com templates and you could find one that has a wider content column? Either that or you could change the font size in the code editor.

  It’s the code in this post as it’s too wide for the theme. It’s forcing the sidebar down.

  Hi drmike,

  I searched for themes that take in wide text easily, all of them has this problem. May be I should remove the preformatted style, but then indentation goes haywire.

  I reduced the width but then also the same problem.
