    Looks OK on my end, what's wrong with it ? and did you add HTML ? other than youtube video ? Might be a <BR> or something messing with the code.

    I checked that site a few minutes ago. The content was skewed, and I think the site was brown. Now, it's turned all pink! :eek: Very sweet and feminine, but hard on the eyes. Where are my shades . . . ?!

    Looks like it is broken in Firefox (2.0.0.11 / WINXP). Looks fine in IE6/Opera9.

    Yea it's looking kind of crazy in Firefox. I know my site does that in Firefox when I've copied and pasted a youtube video on it and then went back to edit the post to add something. So what I did was look in the code part of my post in edit mode and found that the youtube video was "broken". Like for instance if I copied the code:

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Nydao-sdEM&rel=1&border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Nydao-sdEM&rel=1&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    when I go back to edit that post with it, I'd notice the code would look like this:

    <object width="425" height="355"></object>

    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Nydao-sdEM&rel=1&border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Nydao-sdEM&rel=1&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>


    And well, with it looking like that, caused my page to look just like how yours is looking now. But after fixing it back to what should be, by simply moving the </object> tag to after the </embed> tag and then closing in the gap after removing the </object> tag to the end of the code and/or just copying and pasting the original code deleting the "broken" code (whichever is quicker), everything was back to normal.

    Not sure that's what's happening with your site but looks like it. Hope that helps. If not, then ... (no comment). hehe.

    I'm pretty sure the video is causing it. I've had similar issues in the past when including youtube videos.

    LOL. Nobody said you had to get rid of them. Gorsh. If what I suggested doesn't work, then I'm quite sure you can find a solution that does. ;) It's just code. Sure some php and/or wp guru on here can help. Just wait for some more folks to post or do a google search for some help on the issue while you wait.

    Posting youtube videos can be problematic, as things tend to get rearranged. CU_Designs' solution should work. Post back and let us know.

    *Edit: After looking at the source for your site it appears that this is exactly what has happened. CU_Designs' fix should correct everything.
