  Hi gang, I’m using wordpress.com for my site. For some reason the sidebar containing all my widgets has shifted on my page called ‘NEWS’ at the site where I run all my posts. All other pages are fine, except this one. It shifted position so it’s in line with my posts, so the right 1/3 side of the screen looks strangely empty?

  Any idea how to fix this? I tried submitting prior revisions of the news area but it did not correct this issue? Cheers!

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

  Clicking on your username says domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Give us a different URL for your blog please.

  That’s always due to stray or unclosed html tags in one or more posts. First you click the title of each post to see which post causes the issue (in your case it’s “State of the Music Industry” and “Fulltone MDV-2 Vibe/Chorus Pedal”). Then you go to Settings>Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes; then edit the problem posts (make any insignificant change, for instance add then remove a space) and click Update.
