My blog has gone pearshaped can somebody please help

I logged onto my blog today and found that the layout had gone haywire. Instead of having blog posts on the left hand side and my sidebar on the right I have the following.
My sidebar is about three quarters of the way down the page and my blog posts in some places go right across the page where they used to stop at the sidebar. I am at a loss of what to do so could really do with some help.
My blog can be found at Gain Weight Fast with Weight Gain Supplements if somebody would be kind enough to help.

Regards

Kim

    My son's blog did the same today. I'm supposed to be tending it while he's away - oops! Are you using a plugin to pull articles from ArticleBase? He does, and my first thought was that there was an issue with the plugin or the formatting from Articlebase had changed. I've changed the template and that doesn't help.

    Kim, hard to be certain, but it appears that you have a stray closing div tag ( </div> ) right at the end of the bio block on some posts. Looks like only the posts that have the bio block are causing problems.

      Assuming you both are experiencing the same problem. if this just started on its own and changing the template has no effect then it must be being caused by a component that automaticalky upgraded itself.

      If Amy & Kim could list the PlugIns they are using that might be of help, as there may be a common one. Steve's observation may be helpful in narrowing down the offending component.

      Is it possible that your hosting provider automatically upgraded WordPress?

    The plugin my son is using for Articlebase is Automatic Blog by PeoMedia. Deleting the extraneous <div> tag on all posts on the page fixes the issue. Thanks Steve!

    Kim - I had to edit all Articlebase posts back to 8/17 to eliminate the issue.

      many thanks for the replies, yes the problem was with the automatic blog plugin as when I deleted all posts back to the 16th of August the problem disappeared.
      Thanks once again

    Big thanks Steve,

    6 days of posts missing after I was messing with it last night, Only had 1 post with the div tag in deleted and all sorted.

    I am also using an Articlebase Automatic Blog Plugin. I noticed it had also changed the categories it posted the articles in.

    Cheers again
