• I am a middle school teacher in Shady Hills, FL and we use WordPress for our teacher Blog Sites. A couple of teachers at our school are having problems where the background color on their blog sites shows up as “Black” when viewed on Firefox or Safari, but shows up normally when viewed on Internet Explorer.

    Here are a couple of examples:
    http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/tdurchik

    http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/lbanet

    Also, the “Pages”, “Archives”, and “Links” that normally show up at the top Right Hand Side of the page are showing up at the bottom right (show up ok on IE, just incorrectly on Firefox or Safari).

    Any Suggestions?

    EDIT: The second part about the “Pages”, “Archives”, and “Links” actually occurs on all Browsers, it shows up incorrectly on IE as well as Firefox and Safari.

    in http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/tdurchik last article there are a lot of unclosed div align=”center”:

    <div class="entry">
    					<div align="center"><img src="http://www.siteglitter.com/premade-graphics/pirates-menu/pirate3.gif" /></div>
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center"><img alt="week-23.png" id="image3301" src="http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/wp-content/blogs/26/uploads//week-23.png" /></div>
    <div align="center"></div>
    <div align="center"></div>
    <div align="center"></div>
    <div align="center"></div>
    <div align="center"></div>

    <div align="center"></div>
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center" />
    <div align="center">
    <div style="text-align: center"><img alt="picture-2.png" id="image3293" src="http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/wp-content/blogs/26/uploads//picture-2.png" /></div>

    when you tidy them up (in the wordpress editor using html mode for instance) the normal background should come back (hopefully).

    and in the other link, there is a misspelled div in the
    article from ‘August 31 – September 4, 2009’ – edit it in html mode an correct the error:

    div class="entry">
    					<div>I would like to compliment all the new Dutchmen Team members, I think we all had a great week.  I am looking forward to getting to know each of you even more and having a great year.  Attached you can click on the calendar to preview the material that we will be covering this week in the Course 2 and Course 3 books.</div>
    <div />
    <div><a title="1st-quarter-posted-blog-calendar-aug-31-sept4.doc" id="p2186" href="http://clmsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/lbanet/2009/08/30/august-31-september-4-2009/1st-quarter-posted-blog-calendar-aug-31-sept4doc/" rel="attachment">1st-quarter-posted-blog-calendar-aug-31-sept4.doc</a></div>
    				</div>

    see this part here -> ( the <div /> is misspelled and should be <div>:

    Course 2 and Course 3 books.</div>
    <div />
    <div>

    the sidebar should be correct after you corrected the abovve mentioned mistakes.

    if there are more examples of black backgrounds, please post them here, and someone may have a look at them.

    Thank You Very Much!!

    The first one is my wife’s blog and I tried to fix it, but I think she has errors in other posts as well. I went through them and tried to clean them up but haven’t found it yet. She actually said she liked it black so that is not as important.

    The second one was for a colleague and your suggestion fixed it. She is very grateful!!!

    Thank You!
    Matt
