I was a little shocked to see sections of my blog missing this morning:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The right sidebar completely disappeared, and the footer appeared to be displayed there.<\/p>\n
Rather than take the extreme measure of overwriting my customized template with the default installs, I looked at the code that had been generated with Google Chrome the day earlier as I was using the new browser to publish the web page.<\/p>\n
For whatever reason, Chrome inserted extra DIV tags into the blog post throwing the design elements out of whack.<\/p>\n
Copying the raw HTML into a text editor, I deleted the extra DIV tags and thank’s it’s situation normal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I guess the key advice is if you’re using Chrome to work on a key website (especially using any browser-based editor, you might want to have backups at home.<\/p>\n
Or at least be aware what might happen and take steps to rectify it if things go awry.<\/p>\n
