Hi
I bought EE a week ago and i am working day and night to learn it and to convert some wordpress themes for EE2.
In such one theme i get this alignment issue , my second article on home page broke my alignment and moved my sidebars in the bottom of page. Can anyone please check it in firebug or similar tool to get me going. I really want to get my site online asap.
Here is my site development page link

This isn’t really a tech support issue as such but I’d check your code very carefully. I’m guessing that you should have a <div class=“entry”> around each of the entries which you don’t have at the moment, they all seem to be surrounded by one div which could well be why this isn’t working.
You may also need to share the original template code and your template code in order to get this sorted.
Best wishes,
Mark

If you notice in your code you have your closing {/exp:channel:entries} tag before the code has finished. Try changing your code to this instead :
<!-- ################ Entry Start ####################### -->
<!-- one entry: -->
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="2"}
<div class="entry">
<div class="entry-previewimage rounded preloading_background">
<a href="http://single.html">{post_image}</a>
</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<h1 class="entry-heading"><a href="http://single.html">{title}</a></h1>
<div class="entry-head">
<span class="date ie6fix">{entry_date format="%M %d, %Y"}</span>
<span class="comments ie6fix"><a href="http://single.html">{comment_total} Comments</a></span>
<span class="author ie6fix"><a href="http://single.html">by {author}</a></span>
</div><!--entry-head-->
<div class="entry-text">
{post_body}
</div><!--entry-text-->
<div class="entry-bottom">
<span class="categories"><a href="#">{channel}</a>, <a href="#">{channel}</a></span>
<a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}" class="more-link">Read more</a>
</div><!--entry-bottom-->
</div><!--end entry_content-->
</div><!--end entry -->
{/exp:channel:entries}
<!-- ################ Entry End ####################### -->This should then ensure that each channel entry has the correct amount of opening and closing div tags.
Hope that helps a bit.
Best wishes,
Mark
