I am redesigning my blog and as you'll see if you get there before resolution is posted or I remove linkie (which I shall edit out when problem fixed) the page displays twice. I'm convinced it is a dumb CSS mistake that I have introduced tweaking the theme I am using there.... anyone who can spot/guess the error and help me fix it before i do so myself gets guaranteed reps and the kudos for the thread ownage of course...

Happy New Year guys (and Marge and Jewelzz!) also.

Not sure I can really help, but following the links @ the bottom for "Valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS 3." both showed warnings/errors. 🙂
 
thanks Xie - not sure they are the cause though,....

it's coded up using the Chirp blog engine so it is not as straightforward as raw code...

Just on the off chance someone else here is able to spot it this is the CSS involved, not sure if it could be the culprit:-

discovered the problem lies with the blogging engine - not "my"code! (Thread can be deleted if a mod thinks it is just static for the forums).

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
