    Hey guys,

    I'm having a problem with my fonts. Whenever I add a fifth post the font changes for the old 4 posts (Whole post: Title and info). I have no idea whats wrong! I haven't changed anything in the "stylesheet.css" file. I'm the Simplism theme. I tried some other themes and the same problem still exists. Please help

    First place to start when you get cross-browser problems:

    validate

    Incorrect markup can have unpredictable results. Fix the code, and the problem will probably go away.

    I just tried that.

    URI : http://www.q8abroad.com/wp-content/themes/simplism/style.css
    39 #sidebar Property bacgkround-image doesn't exist : url('images/sidebar-bg.gif')
    231 Parse error - Unrecognized };

    Doesn't seem like i have a problem.

    Sounds like you're talking about validating the CSS. You also need to validate the HTML. Click the link I gave, you'll find it shows 22 errors.

    Incidentally, what you're pasting says you do have a problem in the CSS, although it's the HTML errors that are probably causing you difficulty.

    Yeah. Im trying to fix them. But I dont see how these problems could effect the font. most problems are caused by the embed codes i copied from youtube and metacafe.

    Ignore the errors caused by the <embed> tag for now (roughly the first 7 errors). You've got some unclosed tags, and that's probably the source of your problem. For example, this:

    Line 59, Column 275: end tag for "font" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified .

    refers to this in your HTML:

    <p align="center"><embed...></embed><br/><font size="1"></p>

    That unclosed <font> tag causes several more validation errors.

    Also, always use <br />, not <br>.

    Fix those, and keep looking for unclosed tags--they're probably the problem.

    No, html could also be screwy in your theme. Some theme authors don't validate before releasing their stuff.

    <p align="center"><embed...></embed><br/><font size="1"></p>
