   Hi guys,

   I'm having issues with the formatting of my blog. When I add a new post, it goes down into the middle of the screen and a lot of text spills over into the margin. I have tried copying and pasting the text and also typing it in but it does the same thing.

   Anyone have any suggestions?

   Our blog is http://www.ofsteadinsights.com/blog if any of you would like to see what the layout looks like.

   Hey Ofstead,

   I must confess that I'm not spotting the error using Firefox 3 or IE7.

   I do see that there are some validation errors on your site and I'd encourage you to fix these as they can have an effect on how the site displays in different browsers.

   For example, you have this code for your nav:
   

   <div id="primary_nav">
   
             <li><a href="/index.htm">Home</a></li>
             <li><a href="/company.htm">About Ofstead</a></li>
             <li><a href="/portfolio.htm">Portfolio</a></li>
             <li><a href="/news.htm">News &amp; Events</a></li>
             <li class="active"><a href="/blog">Blog</a></li>
   
             <li><a href="/contact.htm">Contact Us</a></li>
           </div>

   Your list should be wrapped in

   . . .

   tags to avoid a bunch of errors like so:

   <div id="primary_nav">
             <ul>
             <li><a href="/index.htm">Home</a></li>
             <li><a href="/company.htm">About Ofstead</a></li>
             <li><a href="/portfolio.htm">Portfolio</a></li>
             <li><a href="/news.htm">News &amp; Events</a></li>
             <li class="active"><a href="/blog">Blog</a></li>
             <li><a href="/contact.htm">Contact Us</a></li>
             </ul>
           </div>

   Can you give us more details?

   I can add the posting to our website so that you can see what it does. Is there a time when you would be willing to look at it? The post that is giving me troubles is not published and that's why you are not spotting the error.

   Since this is my company's website, I do not want to post something that would make us look bad and that's what I feel me leaving the posting on would do since it's so messed up.

   And I must admit, I am new to this whole blogging thing so I don't understand your html codes...

   Kayla,

   I'll be here for another hour and would be happy to look at it now. Otherwise, you may want to contact me through my blog and email me from the Contact Page and we can schedule at time.

   Cheers,
   eric
