  I can’t figure out why all of the words on every one of my posts on my home page turned italicized. None of them were all italicized before — only a few key words. Why did everything turn italicized and how can I undo it?

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

  @ckrussell: Because you’ve left an italics tag unclosed in your latest post. Go to the post editor, switch to HTML, and change this:
  <em>For the entire WhiteHouse.gov article:
  to this:
  <em>For the entire WhiteHouse.gov article:</em>

  To make sure this won’t happen again in the future, go to Settings>Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes.
