I’m using the Journalist template. Posts and pages are okay. It’s only the front page. Text boxes are on top of one another, there’s a post where the sidebar should be and teh sidebar is at the bottom. Has anyone else seen this?

The blog is set to private, but I can change that temporarily if someone thinks they can help me.

Have you been copying and pasting from Word, or from another program or off the web?

Make it public and I’ll look at it. I’m using The Journalist theme as well.

Nod to TSP – that’s probably the problem.

Yes, I’ve been copying from Word. That’s exactly what it is. I just opened it.

Do you know how I can fix it?

I figured it out. Thanks, thesacredpath and vivianpaige.

Open each post for edit, and then click the “clear code” button in the visual editor tool bar and then save the post.

If you are going to use Word, use the “paste from word” button on the extended tool bar: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/15/what-do-all-the-icons-mean/
