Help, I've done something to my website but I don't know what I've done. The writing in the side columns has increased I have looked at the HTML code but can't figure it out. Can anyone tell where I have gone wrong?

@Robert: Your site side columns look fine to me, but I'm not sure since I don't know what you want them to look like. I do see that your main text in your middle content has some issues with punctuation that's showing up as questionmark symbols in a black circle. I'm looking at it in Firefox most current version. Looks right as far as that part in IE8 but... it's really messed up for text size otherwise in IE8.
Your code is really really really bad, I can't explain how bad it is, it's amazing it's working because you're using such old style code and you have multiple codes trying to style the same blocks of text which I'm sure has a lot to do with why it's not showing up correctly size wise.
I would suggest using the HTML Validation tools in the HTML Editor if that's what you're using, or if you're using a different text editor you can go check your site validation here:
http://validator.w3.org/check
Putting your site into that validator I come up with 442 errors and 91 warnings. I would start there and work through those errors and warnings to fix it up before dealing with how it looks. Just my suggestions. Good luck with it and if you have questions on how to fix it don't hesitate to ask. When you do, be sure to let us know what program(s) you're using for editing and scripts etc. Jo Ann (aka Wolverana)

Jo Ann,
Can you tell me what I need to do here then I should be able to work it out, hopefully. On the validator it says: Line 45, Column 29: document type does not allow element "h1" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
<font color="#FF0000"><h1>The Rob Charles Radio Show Page</h1></font>?
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
If I remove the > from <h1> the Rob Charle sRadio Show dissapears. What doe sit men?
