 * Hi,
    I’ve been working on building an extremely simple theme, to replace an extremely
   jerry-rigged customised theme I’ve been using for years.
 * I am almost there, however for some reason some older posts are not justifying
   in line with others. More specifically, it looks like the first two posts are(
   correctly) centered, all subsequent posts are left-justified with the same column
   width. I can’t see any reason for this within the CSS nor PHP.
 * Any thoughts?
 * Thanks,
    T
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Folder-posts-align-themselves-differently%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * you have an unclosed comment line in one of the files:
 *     ```
       	<!-- This appears to be forward and back links.
       ```
   
 * what files are in your theme?

 * Hi Michael,
 * Thanks for your help! That was indeed the issue.
 * So, how did you locate this open comment? I’ve been attempting to debug with 
   Firebug, but it doesn’t show me things like this.
 * The theme currently has
 * footer.php
    header.php index.php single.php style.css
 * That open comment was in both index.php and single.php — I don’t recall where
   I pilfered the php from, but I had a few lines commented out, and some comments
   which were broken.
 * I now just have to figure out what is giving the page a horizontal scroll, then
   it should be fit for its limited purpose.
 * Thanks,
    T
