Overlapping Text

If your screen looks like this, and the words and/or pic overlap the brown strip on the right, you may be using a wide-screen monitor.  Try holding down the Ctrl button and scrolling the mouse wheel a couple of clicks.  This can make the font smaller or larger.  This is also very useful to make text larger if you're on a website with small print, or smaller if you're on a site that you have to side-scroll to see the whole text that is off-screen.  ugh.
That brown strip actually is part of the design for this background.  When I chose the background, I chose the widescreen one, since I wanted my text to go across the screen more.  I knew it would not show up on my screen, however, but that would make it possible to also choose the wider post option that blogger offers.  I didn't realize it would get in the way of my text on wide screen monitors!

ETA:  One reader commented that she "tried the Ctrl button and scrolling, but it only makes the post shorter, not narrower. I have a hard time seeing the words in the brown strip, so I just high-light your post and they show up just fine."
Wow, I'm glad she was able to resolve the problem, but I didn't realize how much trouble I caused! =)
It works that way for me too in Firefox.  In Internet Explorer, it does make it smaller and narrower.  Not sure about other browsers.
