  The appearance of my Blog at http://penguincrimes.wordpress.com
  looks terrible. All I have done is select a background, titles and initial post. But some content is blocking other content. I have tried to change it but nothing moves the content hidden behind to where it can be seen.

  Why does this format look so terrible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It does not look terrible to me. I’m using Firefox 25 on a PC. The theme is a responsive width theme. Responsive width means the layout adapts depending on the size of the device being used to view your site. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading. When using a responsive width theme we disable the mobile theme here > Appearance > Mobile
  Have you done that?

  Thank you – I’m still confused. I’m viewing it on a laptop with Internet Explorer. Are you saying there is a button somewhere called “Appearance” where I disable the mobile theme so that people using what I am using can view it properly? Where is that button?

  Yes. Dashboard > Appearance > Mobile

  Thanks again – but I’m afraid that doesn’t solve it – it still looks the same. And on that Apperance page there is the following message:

  “Awesome! Your theme, Writr, is already deemed to be mobile-friendly.”

  It may work on mobiles but on my laptop it still looks awful. I have tried both enabling and disabling the mobile theme but it makes no difference when I then view it on my laptop. Am I missing something?

  Hi @peteinterpol,

  It looks like you’re using Internet Explorer 8 — our newest themes are designed to work with Internet Explorer 9 and above. For the best experience, please upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer (verison 11), or any of the browsers specified on the Browse Happy site that timethief linked to above.

  Hope this helps; let us know if you have any other questions.
