UPDATE:
When PG was checking the temporary TPV theme discussed below, he discovered strange behavior several posts down from the top. The behavior began immediately after a post that contained some Amazon Associates javascript that caused a buy ad to appear.
On a hunch, PG removed the script and peace returned to the temporary theme. When PG tested the old faithful TPV theme, the formatting problems had disappeared.
He’ll do more checking tomorrow, but hopes that was the only problem.
EARLIER POST
PG discovered some formatting problems with TPV later on Sunday night.
The top of the right column was picking up the title of a TPV post farther down the first page instead of the widgets that should have appeared in that location. The widgets were pushed way down to the bottom of the first page.
PG tried some fixes, but nothing seemed to work.
As a temporary expediency to keep the blog posts available, PG switched to a different WordPress theme that he had played with as a possible replacement for the long-without-updates theme was previously using.
There are a couple of things PG doesn’t like about the theme you see right now, but at least it’s showing the blog posts. The right column of TPV is not showing up, but that is filled with general information that doesn’t get updated very often.
PG apologizes for any inconvenience. He’ll be working on a permanent theme fix on Monday and will try not to disrupt the experience of his visitors too severely.
