  Hello, my links, archives, etc… are not showing up on my site. I tried all the simple widget fixes, but can’t seem to get it to work. Probably not related, but over the past week or so I have also had a lot of spam which got through my filter. Thank you, Lou

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

  The site linked to your username is marked private so we volunteers cannot take a look at it.
  The blog http://freshwaterandfinch.wordpress.com is “right out of the box” Twenty Ten with a header presumably put there by you.
  Are you asking about another site?

  Not sure why that blog came up. It is http://loufreshwater.com/ that is giving me trouble.

  Thank you.

  The problem is with this post, probably an unclosed tag:
  http://loufreshwater.com/2013/04/23/poetry-of-war/

  What are you copying and pasting from? There is a lot of unconventional code. If you are using a word processor you should use the paste from Word button or the paste as plain text button.

  Thank you! I deleted any text in the tag box and that fixed it. Had no idea. I will also take a look at the links, and be more careful about copying and pasting. Again, much appreciated.
