 * Maybe you can see the issue. Any text after the last image of any given post 
   gets linked to the same target that the image is linked to. I noticed that at
   the very end of each post where there’s an image link, a < /a/ > is tacked onto
   the last character. Perhaps this is doing something with the text? Removing it
   doesn’t do anything. Viewing the entire blog with Firefox shows no problems at
   all, but viewing it with IE is an eyesore.
 * I’m using the theme, “Green Marinee 1.0”
 * Any ideas? More screenshots and code snippets can be taken upon request.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Seems fine to me on its own, but your page will not validate. I can tell from
   the above. Have you tried making it valid XHTML? If not, you are bound to fragility,
   especially with IE. I have has similar problems in the past.

 * Hmmmmmm. This is what Firefox gives me:
 * _`garbage unless repaired. These cables just plug in.
    Awesome.

 * Seems fine. Looks like it complies with the usual rules. And now, this is what
   IE gives me:

 * Notice the `</a>` at the very end, and the `</a/>` in the source taken from IE?
   What could be causing this?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Fixed it.
 * For some reason, putting an empty link element, `<a></a>` after the last image
   helps keep the link where it should be, which is in the thumbnail. The editor
   still butchers the `</a>`, but at least things are looking better.
 * Thanks for the help.
