Wrapping posts with Wordpress

My posts are wrapping around each other, and I'm trying to stop them.

I'm new to css, so bear with me please. I've got a few blogs ups, and one of them is wrapping the posts around the old posts. And when you view the comments the picture overlaps part of the text box used to type in new comments.

The website is <snip>. I used a wordpress theme called <snip>. I want the new posts to simply post on the home page in a vertical fashion, with each old post moving down the page as most blogs do.

Anyway, I'm going through the css.style page and I can't find any way to make it post without wrapping? I'm thinking that maybe the width is not set wide enough, but it seems to match up. The total width of the page is 956px, and the #main is set to 635px. The sidebar is set to 291px. Add those together and you get 926px total. Throw in some margin, and you're close to the 956px total.

Clearly you can see on the home page that the text on the post from Oct 14th is simply wrapping around the picture in the post on Oct 23rd.

This doesn't happen on the blog I post on (<snip>). Of course mine is a different wordpress theme, which could be the whole problem? So, without choosing another theme, and customizing new images for my stock market trader friend, is there any way to edit the css to stop the posts from wrapping?

Here is the code for the css stylesheet.............

You're probably going to find it easiest to get help from the author of the theme you're using.

Learning CSS with a wordpress template is like learning how to ride a bycicle in the Tour de France (or like learning to drive a car in a Nascar race): t's just too hard.

The end result is that unless somebody does the change for you that you're not going to get it done without first learning some more CSS.

See the forum charter for some resources on learning CSS.

What you seem to be describing are floated images that stick out of the bottom of their parent elements ? Is that what you're trying to prevent from occurring ?
