I'm having some trouble with the way WordPress (or perhaps just the theme I'm using) is formatting HTML in posts on the homepage. The problem: it's not formatting it at all. If I create the post in the rich editor and format things differently (links, type styles, even line breaks don't come up!) it all shows up as one continuous block of text. Same problem if I try hand-typing the HTML on the code section of the editor.
Edit: A side note -- the post is formatted correctly if you click on the link and go to the actual page. This malfunction only occurs on the home page. :(
My link is heyitsjosh.com/blog if anyone needs to look at it or whatever.

Hey, did you ever get this figured out? I am having a similar problem with my wordpress site and am not sure how to fix it. Thank you!
the original poster sounded like he had excerpts on his home page, stripping out formatting, since all the formatting showed on the actual posts page.
a link to your site might help

my site is http://www.reformedbaptistinstitute.org its the same problem where the post snippets arent picking up any of the formatting but when you read the full entry everything displays fine. I am trying to work through the css right now. The problem started yesterday randomly I think.

So just in case this happens to anyone else it turns out that when someone made a post and inserted the "more" link into the post that they put it inside some "pre" tags and that caused everything else down the line to get messed up since in the front page that tag never got closed. Thanks for your help! That cleared up basically all the other errors on the page.
