I haven’t used Internet Explorer in so long that I hadn’t noticed my site wasn’t getting displayed correctly with it.  In Firefox it showed the right hand navigation bar with no problem but with Internet Explorer it just wasn’t there.  After hours of digging through the MySQL database I finally figured it out.  I had written a couple of posts in a word processor for spell check reasons and then pasted the text into the blog.  The text editor added “extra” data that was invisible through the browser window and when written to the database caused PHP (the front end) to display the information incorrectly.  Well it’s all cleared up now but it goes to show how well opensource software really is.  Firefox was able to render the malformed entries without a problem.
