   My blog is: thecivildiscourse.wordpress.com

   I've been using Coraline for about a year on this blog but recently it seems all the widgets in the sidebar are pinned to the bottom of the page (not even visible when you first go to the site). I am not using custom CSS, so I'm not sure how this happened.

   I've tried removing all the widgets, but even so a few appear (not sure where those are coming from?) at the bottom of the page. Help!

   Thank you.

   The blog I need help with is thecivildiscourse.wordpress.com.

   The reason your sidebar has fallen and is displaying below your posts is either due to copying and pasting or it can also be a result of importing text containing invalid HTML. If you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, please see here so you know how to do this correctly in the future. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

   To "fix" this go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

   Then starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal.

   Thank you so much for your help! I didn't realize that could be an issue.
