Page looks awful after editing "about" page

[debaser]

First off, I know little to nothing about the internet. I thought this would be much easier than it has turned out to be.

I'm using the newest version of pixelpost and a template called "supaclean".

When I first loaded it and got it going, it looked fine. Only the "about" page wasn't about me and so I opened a copy of it up in Open Office edior and fixed it up. When I FTP'd it to my host, EVERYTHING was screwed up. So I delete my "about" page from the host and put the old one back on. No change. Still messed up.

Visite www.613photo.com to have a look at it. That's obviously not what it's supposed to look like.

So I have two questions that I hope one or more of you kind people will answer for me:

1. How do I get it back to the way it's supposed to look?
2. What is the proper way to edit the "about" page?

Thank you.

Okay. Well, I looked at it through my laptop and things are fine with the generic "about" page. Why would two computers running the same OS and same browser see the page differently???

I guess I have three questions now.

And I guess I should note that I've cleared out Firefox's cache and the problem remains on this computer. I've restarted. Same.

It looks really plain...I don't know how to explain it. Just kind of like a really basic HTML type page. But, again, only on this computer. And I can't make it stop.

In Internet Explorer it looks right. In Firefox it doesn't. And this version of Firefox is exactly the same as the one on my laptop (2.0.0.14).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. What does it look like in your computer?

Looks fine to me..

Windows XP
1650x1080
FireFox 2

Perhaps a screenshot could help?

I've just checked your About page using Firefox 2.0.0.14, and it looks fine to me. I did a look-see on the source code, and the version I was looking at was the generic page that comes with the template.

You need to open this file in a plain text editor (like Notepad), and edit the section between

<div class="content">
<h2>About</h2>
and
</div>
<div class="columns">

In that area, there are 3 paragraphs of Latin filler text (Lorem ipsum....) between the < p > and < /p > tags. Edit the text between those tags to reflect what you want to say about yourself. If there's an extra paragraph of filler text that you don't need, then delete that text.

Save the file and FTP it to your server and you should see the changed file then.

You guys are right, it looks fine to EVERYBODY except me! Here (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/dussin23/problem.jpg) is what I see when I look at it in FF.

The editing I think I can figure out. I just don't know what happened to my browser.

I've cleared cache, did a full disk cleanup. Everything that I can think of.

If this ever happens to anyone else, go to "View">"Page Style" and make sure it's not set to "no style". I swear I never went anywhere near that option, but somehow it got switched to that.

Easy fix once but it took me forever to figure out what it could've been.

ok, I posted this question in the general help area previously with no reply -

I found this thread dated 2007, though it appears to be similar to my problem, my issue is slightly different.

I have the darkmatter template installed to PPost version 1.71 and I am having problems with the results of my edited "about" and "browse" template pages.

Once I edit any of them in a text editor (and I have tried this with other templates as well) the navigation and in some cases the page layout fails if not disappears.

My site is on standby here - http://mostransky.com/pixelpost/pixelpost_v1.7.1/

as far as the "about_template" page, I was able to update the page in a text editor but now notice my navigation is lost. I added content for the "about" within the <p>and</p> and I appended the existing copyright line at the bottom of the page to add for myself.
ABOUT PAGE http://mostransky.com/pixelpost/pixelpost_v1.7.1/index.php?x=about

I also edited the "browse_template" page, I lost all functionality of what was once there. In this scenario I merely appended the copyright line at the bottom and now the whole page is defunct.

BROWSE/COLLECTION PAGE
http://mostransky.com/pixelpost/pixelpost_v1.7.1/index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1

Is it possible that the template is fubar'd by simply editing this bottom line item?

What concerns me more is again, using my web text editor from my host, I removed the html code for what was there that wasn't working for the "browse" page and then pasted the original html from the downloaded Darkmatter template, one would think that after saving and a refresh that this page would work - not the case. I cleared my cache and even tried FFox as well and still the mangled page appears.

Note - I can confirm that removing the template from my directory and replacing it with the default files obviously fixes the problem and brings me back to square one but this is obviously not ideal unless I want the default loads.

I notice "text editor" is recommended as the best method to edit these templates down below but can anyone confirm this or state that they have edited with a text editor in the past on these template html pages and succeeded?

Please help...
