 * A website I run is getting strikethrough on several things. Headings in the sidebar,
   the search box and on other themes on all the links.
 * I run several blogs on the same hosting plan. This is the only blog giving me
   the problem. The address for the problematic blog is [http://www.nicoleclabaugh.com/](http://www.nicoleclabaugh.com/).
   Another blog on the same hosting package is [http://www.wesbaker.com/](http://www.wesbaker.com/).

 * Does the problem occur in any other themes?
 * Other than that, validate the site.

 * It occurs in every theme, including Kubrick. I downloaded the latest zip and 
   uploaded it all overwriting everything and did a upgrade. I switched it over 
   to Kubrick to further illustrate the other problems.

 * Can you just install another WP in a sub-directory just to see whether it’s your
   account-related??

 * I’m having the same problem. The strikethroughs are on every theme, and I can
   only see them on Internet Explorer and not Firefox.
 * I checked my MySQL database, and I could find no HTML “strike” tags.
 * On IE, I see them here: [http://www.nyyblog.da.ru/weblog/](http://www.nyyblog.da.ru/weblog/)
 * I tried deleting my WordPress directory and uploading a new set. I kept the same
   config.php file and re-adding the Steam theme. They’re still there…

 * In your css near the bottom you have this line:
    `small, #sidebar ul ul li, #
   sidebar ul ol li, .nocomments, .postmetadata, blockquote, strike`
 * Try removing the last word – ‘strike’
 * Long shot but it’s a good place to start.

 * I removed “strike” from Steam’s CSS file. It didn’t work. Thanks, anyway. Can
   anyone else offer some help with these strikethroughs?

 * I see `<DEL>` tags. How come?
 * `Today’s appearance was his first of the spring for the Yankees.<del datetime
   ="2006-03-20T01:00:56+00:00">` Pretty sure that’ll definitely cause your “strike
   through” issues – no closing tag for it either.

 * While making the post, I probably clicked the delete button, which is right next
   to the block quote one.
 * That worked. Thanks. 🙂
