  Seems that all of my “Previous” post, (although the most recent one is not) are italicized.
  Also while trying to correct this issue by re-editing the previous post, I noticed that many of the side bar wording etc.. are also italicized? Anyone know what I am doing here, I never had this problem before actually.

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

  It’s common. Usually it’s because you’ve left a tag open somewhere, either by being careless in the HTML editor or by cutting and pasting from Word or from elsewhere on the web.

  If you look at the bottom of your most recent post, that’s where the problem is. Here’s the code:

  <p><strong>Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.<br />
  </strong><em><br />
  Rest secure in His finished works for you, and let His love begin to “Roll the Stone Away”</em></p>
  
  <p><em>God Bless you all</em></p>
  </div>

  And you have one too many em’s in there. Just go into the HTML editor and take it out.

  To prevent this in future, just go to Settings->General and select the option for WordPress to automatically correct invalidly nested XHTML (sp? you’ll see what I mean)

  When something like that happens, you must first click the title of each post to see which post or posts cause the problem (in your case it’s the latest two). Then, since you activated that setting, go to the post editor for each post in turn, make any insignificant change (e.g. add then remove a space), click Update Post.

  I still have the problem with all of the previous entry’s prior to the 6 most recent ones which I just went through and took out all Italicizing codes. All of those post are now in the correct Font, but the top section of my “Side Bar” list of blog entries etc..
  and the previous post that had no problems before I began the 6 part series, that as I said I just edited are still italicized?.

  Ok, thanx Panagam,
  The isolation diagnosis method is a great bit of knowledge for future problems. Thank you both again.
