Hi, whooami,

Thanks for the extra clarification. I didn’t mean to sound dismissive–I guess I was a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t immediately see what the problems were. I know I went in and added some “<br>” and “<p>” to add space; obviously those are things you shouldn’t do if you want your code to pass muster. I am going to change everything over the weekend and see what happens. Even if it doesn’t fix the alignment, I want my page to be “right.” Thanks again.

Thanks, kristarella, will do.

whooami: thanks again for the validation test results. I looked them over–it seems like a lot of them say, eg, that a “<br>” isn’t closed up but it is. Also, a lot of the problems are with code that I pasted from amazon or feedblitz–granted, that doesn’t mean they’re right, but I wouldn’t really want to mess around with them. Regardless, I couldn’t find anything that would change the appearance of the main body of my site, so I’ll keep trying. Thanks again (I’m glad to know about those validators!)

Sivar: thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing every conceivable margin setting from 0 to auto with no luck. Thanks anyway.

Oh, wow, thanks whooami. I’ll check into all of those.

Grrr. This didn’t work. I’m scared to upgrade WP. The long list of directions looks intimidating? Any other suggestions out there?

Hmm, that’s interesting. When you say “copy and paste,” do you mean from a word processing program? I have done that, but the formatting was all screwed up, so I copied it into Notepad and pasted it from there. I also do a lot of writing in WordPress. I’ll play around with re-pasting everything from Notepad. Thanks for the response!
