# Stray text.

 * I’ve got “stray text” that overlap posts (something happened while I was writing
   a post and I thought I lost the text, but now it’s back, but not in a post).
 * So, there’s this part of a post that is hanging on my blog – I know that it’s
   not part of a post because it was overlapping two different posts – and it’s 
   not moving down so it looks like it’s trying to be a permenant fixture.
 * How do I get rid of it?

 * If you view the source you’ll see a bunch of divs that are absolutely positioned
   with inline styling like so:
 * `<div style="position: absolute; top: 4057px; left: 104px">`
 * Go to that post and see what you can find.
