Seems to be a problem with the PHP or html rather then the CSS
Why?

I thought it was the problem as its stacking the dates on top of each other rather then keeping the blog entry items together, e.g. title, date and excerpt together, Here is a link to a screen shot which will explain it better. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g905r6gll2ymlpd/VwgNPnyZpU
Or could the problem be in the reading settings? I have the home page on home.php and the blog page on on page-blog.php. In the reading settings I have – Front page displays, then ‘your latest posts’ checked.

Sorry, I can’t help you without a link to your site.
seems to be a formatting issue – check if the dates are formatted with float
or so, while the other divs are not;
alternatively, try to wrap each post in a div to keep them together, and remove any ‘float’ from the dates…..

Hiya, thanks for the help, I tried what you said but it didnt fix the problem, so I have gotten the blog feed code of another website which keeps the blog details together but unfortunatly they blog goes off the page. Here is a link of what I mean https://www.dropbox.com/s/fi6xwc5iqi5qr00/Screen%20Shot%202013-10-13%20at%2011.46.57.png

please find a way to have the site public on a server;
without being able to inspect the live site, there is no way to help with formatting issues.
if content runs over the end of a page, this is often caused by un-cleared floats; check the web for ‘clear float css’

Heya
Finally managed to get the site on a live server – the address of the page I am having trouble with is http://www.melgardner.com/qmatters/latest-news-2/
As you will see – the blog entries are going off the page. Does anyone know what to do?
Many thanks
Mel
