A coding problem

On my other blog, the page suddenly looks like this in all the browsers on my Mac:


... The peach-colored text field to the right of the picture is supposed to be under the picture. It is actually covering up part of the picture (and links at the top). Until recently it was OK.

I've not made any changes to the page's code. Can anybody see what is causing this problem?

This is also happening in Linux with the Firefox browser.

Same with Windoze/Firefox. My guess would be a corrupt page on the server. Delete and reload?

I'm not sure if this is the cause, but the first thing I'd fix is to balance the <p> tags. After Denmark you start a new <p> without having first closed <p class='description'>. See below:

<p class='description'><span>POWER OF SOURCE<br>
A blog about spirituality, forgiveness, and leaving the universe.<br>
Related books: The Disappearance Of The Universe, A Course In Miracles, books/lectures by Kenneth Wapnick.<br>
The picture above is my own, from my home town in Denmark.<p><b>"Forgiveness at the speed of light"</b></span></p>

Also, your <span> spans past the <p>!

Don't <p> in your home country! One day you might have to go back there.

Similar problems are occurring on other blogs too. If I knew anything about web coding, I would suspect blog-host- supplied style sheets are corrupt (or somehow have been modified by the host).

Could also be a Microsoft conspiracy to push their latest garbage, IE7.
