   It would appear your theme is using the_excerpt() as opposed to the_content(). The_excerpt, by default, will strip out most html for initial display. After the user clicks the "read more" they'll see the full post in all of its html glory.

   Some options:

   * consider this plugin that lets you tweak the_excerpt a bit: http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the-excerpt-reloaded/

   * modify your theme's index to use the_content instead of the_excerpt. Use the <!--More--> tag if you want to show little previews.

   Hmm...I see links all over the place...what are you using?

   UNless you mean this line in the most recent post:

   J3 Designs “Alex” Click Image to download

   If so, viewing source shows that there's no link referenced to that at all....meaning the HTML has no anschor tags. If you need it to link to something, you need to create a link for it...

   Thank you guys! I worked out the links problem - now the side bar is at the bottom of the page and not on the side! But it is only like that on the main page - it is where it is suppose to be every where else! *pulls hair out*

   Any ideas??

   Here is my side bar code ~ does this mean anything?

   [code moderated - use a pastebin for long code]

   You were looking at all the erros you have in your site.
   Especially the open divs are causing your sidebar to sink :)

   If you click the Show Source box and Revalidate - all the line numbers with errors will become a link and you can see the code line where your errors are.
   Looking at your code - you are copying text from some crappy word processor or something similarly bad (!) because all your posts are full of garbage. Sorry...

   Are you using the wysiwyg editor? That's another "fine" source" of garbage code. I'd delete and re-do all the posts, or disable the wysiwyg and clean all your posts.

    Again: it is NOT your sidebar, it's the faulty code in your posts...

    I am not using a word processor LOL I just post in admin like well .. I thought you were suppose to! LOL

    And since I havent used a word anything - deleteing the posts and reposting would ummmm do the same thing again??

    And it was all good until I tried to change the theme - then it went all wacko!

    *Goes off to delete*
