Site looks weird when clicking on it from Google (6 posts)

    Hello,

    I'm helping someone out with their Web site and just noticed that when you click on it from Google that the posts spread clear across the page instead of staying in their neat little column. Take a look here: http://judygoffin.com/products-page/books/grieving%E2%80%94a-mother%E2%80%99s-point-of-view/
    If that actually looks normal :), type in grieving a mother's point of view on Google by Judith Goffin and click the link. What is the problem? Is it a coding issue?

    Thanks.

    I'm not seeing any problems - despite trying multiple Posts & Pages via a Google search on judygoffin.com

    I suspect that page is generated by a template that isn't set up properly. You're most likely missing a div somewhere.

    If I go to http://judygoffin.com/products-page/ and click on the title of any book, the page that comes up is broken.

    I would look at the templates and make sure that they are all ok.

    You might want to update the theme with the body_class() function that way you can tell which template is used where.

    the overlap of the content is possibly caused by some of the styles of the wpsc plugin -

    please use a tool such as Firefox' add-on Firebug to investigate these kind of formatting problems.

    Esmi and I posted a few minutes apart. After seeing her comment, I checked again on Chrome, FF and Safari on my Mac and I can see that on this page:

    http://judygoffin.com/products-page/books/grieving%E2%80%94a-mother%E2%80%99s-point-of-view/

    the content extend on top of the sidebar. This has nothing to do with Google. It's a CSS issue.

    I'm using Firefox 10 on Win7, so this could well be a browser specific issue.
