 * I’m on v. 2.9 but that’s not an option in the Version dropdown, above.
 * I have a theme I am customizing with some HTML in the header, via a theme admin
   screen. Before I upgraded to 2.9, it worked fine displaying **in two columns**
   with some HTML/CSS coding. After upgrading, it is inserting \ marks before the”
   marks and won’t display properly.
 * I have the same theme on another domain with 2.8.6, so I went and plugged in 
   the exact same code – works fine. I also tried deactivating all plugins. That
   didn’t fix it either.
 * So it’s 2.9 that’s the issue.
 * Any idea how to fix this?
 * You can see the one that is incorrectly displayed at [http://digigirlhost.com](http://digigirlhost.com).
   The one that is correctly displayed (ignore the rest of the messiness, it’s just
   the text in the header area that I’m concerned with right now) is at [http://everydaydelicious.com](http://everydaydelicious.com).
 * The code in question is:
 *     ```
       <div style=position:relative; float:left; width:250px;><ul><li>Free WordPress Setup</li><li>Blog Migration</li><li>Wordpress Tune-up</li></div>
       <div style="position:relative; float:left; width:250px;"><ul><li>Backup & Maintenance Program</li><li>Wordpress Security Checkup</li></div>
       ```
