By the way, the weirdness is still here. I wrote to Blogger Support and posted a note to the user support mailing list but got nothing that helped. The Google people didn’t even respond over the course of an entire business day though several well-intentioned people on the list proposed ideas. Still funky and not in the way Phil and Dave used to joke about.
Rob’s got the same gunk.
Later: Phil shoots and scores! Here’s what he said, in case you’re suffering from this too:
“For some reason (and I’d be interested in hearing a rationalization – maybe they thought they would clear floats from their inserted images, with a sledgehammer?), someone decided that Blogger should automatically insert a clear: both; before and after every post, as a part of the post body where you can’t avoid it. Since the clear property says “don’t allow any floated elements on my (left|right|both sides)”, that makes doubly sure that if your layout consists of a sidebar created with float:right, then your post will start below it.
Luckily, it looks like you aren’t using the clear property anywhere yourself, so adding
div {clear: none !important}to your stylesheet ought to overrule their… interesting idea about what they ought to do in your posts.”
This should handle the problem until Google dudes get their act together.
