page template vs layout HELP!

    I recently made my about page, I have it set up EXACTLY like my index (minus showing comments, categories and time/date by author info), but for some reason it’s not following my index page. Moves backgrounds and positions the info virtually in the middle of my page…I’ve not changed the template or the CSS.

    Could someone please tell me why the page format doesn’t follow the index page format? Here’s my link: Midnight Sonnet

    This theme was completely created by me, so I can’t blame anyone but myself for why it’s not working…

    Ok, I figured out that when there’s only 1 post or a little bit of writing on a page, it sits in the middle and puts the design off and frustrating to view without thinking: “WTF?!” so, is there any way to align the post or page to the top of the page? I know it’s to do with the “while” code for if posts etc. because offline without the code, the layout works fantastic…online, well that’s another story.

    I added to my about page, it moved all the text up, but if it’s a paragraph or so…everything stays in the middle.
    So I know it’s a single post/little bit of text on a page, that’s doing this.

    you might start with validating your site. It’ll help you to pick apart your code, and find out where the errors are. (That link, by the way, is to a single post page. This one is for the index page.)

    A BIG one is that you’re using the wrong doctype – most of the stuff you’re suing in your code is deprecated for XHTML. You can either change your code, or start by changing your doctype to HTML 4.0 transitional. That might clear up a lot of things.

    But if the site’s not valid, many of the issues you have probably will only be band-aid solutions that cause more issues than it fixes.

    I fixed it at the moment with:

    td {
    vertical-alignment: top
    }

    It moves everything to the top, I’m yet to try this with divs
