How to Fix a Broken Sidebar

    Hi Everyone,

    I finally went too far and broke my WordPress sidebar. Can anyone tell what I did?

    I was attempting to remove the “:” from the end of “Quote of the Day” and another title. That’s all I did, really, but something else happened because I put it back and the sidebar is still a mess at the bottom of the blog.

    This is why working in HTML, when you have no clue about coding, is hazardous to a blog’s health.

    Here’s the address:

    Thanks so much for any input.

    paste the sidebar template – just that – at this location:
    http://pastebin.com
    and then post back here the URL you are given.

    When you post, the url at the top of the screen changes.
    That’s what we need so we can find your info – it’s a busy site 🙂

    I made a change in a post and sent, to pastebin.com, the URL that appeared at the top of the screen directly after making the post.

    If this is what you need, that’s what I just sent. Let me know if that’s not what you want. I had to read your words several times. HTML-eeze is difficult for me to understand.

    Thank you again.

    In your blog, go to Presentation, then Theme editor.
    Click to get the sidebar template.
    We need to see all that code.

    Copy all that code to http://pastebin.com

    When you click ‘Send’ at pastebin, all your code should appear, and the address at the top of the browser will change. It will look similar to http://pastebin.com/425694

    We need to know that address, and that’s what you paste back here.

    What I sent the first time was absolutely all the code in the sidebar template, from top to bottom. The lines, as shown in the link you’ve added, do not appear in my sidebar template.

    This is a terrible time waster for you. Thank you so much for attempting to help me. I must give up at this point.

    We ain’t giving up 🙂

    The link I gave above was just an example of the url you would see – what is at the url matters not.

    I’m sure you did post the correct information earlier, but that site has a high turnover of people posting code, which is why we need the url to find your code. If you could do it again, and post the URL then we can sort it out for you.
