I'm guessing it has something to do with this line
CODE
<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0"$>
from this chunk of code
CODE
<div class="sidetitle">
<a href="http://64.235.242.204/~stella/reading.html">reading</a></div>
<div class="text">
<MTEntries lastn="3" category="reading">
<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0"$>
</MTEntries>
</div>
<a href="http://64.235.242.204/~stella/reading.html">reading</a></div>
<div class="text">
<MTEntries lastn="3" category="reading">
<$MTEntryBody convert_breaks="0"$>
</MTEntries>
</div>
however, I remember putting that in to solve a different problem I was having, so I don't think I want to take it out.
anyway, if anyone knows what the problem is, please pass it along! thanks.
