 * Okay, I love [this theme](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/blue-on-white), 
   but on some computers, some browsers (none that I own), there’s a problem…
 *  there is the header
    then a large, empty white space below it the sidebar is
   in the right place the posts start below the white space, after the sidebar ends.
 * See it [here](http://RadioOswego.com/) (it will probably look okay. Does on most
   browsers).
 * In small, easy words, can you explain how to fix this??
 * Thanks

 * You’ve got at least 51 validation errors in your HTML: missing tage closures,
   unencoded ampersands, etc. Fix your code (which means fixing the code in the 
   theme) and it should display well across all browsers.
 * Use the valiator here: [http://localhost/w3c-validator/](http://localhost/w3c-validator/)
 * That’s the first step to getting the theme to look right. The theme validates
   on my own test site, so you it sounds like you’ve made changes that broke it.
