Why are my widgets now showing below the blog post area instead of sidebars?

  I added a new widget in the secondary side bar yesterday (Milestone) and it looked ok for a minute then ALL the widgets on both sides appeared to have disappeared. I discovered this morning that they are showing below the blog post area.
  I tried moving all the widgets into the Inactive widgets space to see if I had too many and then just added the Meta widget in the Secondary sidebar but it is displaying below the blog post area.
  I had a look at your browser support but I know others are seeing the same problem on different PCs

  Sidebars do not fall to the bottom and display below posts and/or posts do not appear in sidebars 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
