a problem in blooks theme

i’m really green at code and so perhaps should not have attempted this:

The BlogNetwork application on facebook asked me to install a widget to confirm ownership of a blog. i decided to try it out and so tried installing the code in various places (and deleting if it didn’t work) it finally worked but in the process i somehow altered how the blog looks on the page. The margins are all wrong and the information is written in ascending order on the page and not in blocks throughout the page. i have no idea how to tell what happened as i don’t know what the original code is supposed to look like (i’ve previously modified the theme slightly as well)

the strange thing is this: i’ve tried a few different minor changes over the last few hours and everytime i modify something, when i view the site it’s fine… the first time. subsequent reloads or any further navigation reverts to the ‘faulty’ site.

i understand a little little bit about code stuff… mostly just markup stuff. i see by this website that my version of wordpress may be seriously out of date too…

…another thing that has hapened over the last few months is that my content is doubled on every page. the post is there and then it’s repeated….

i would just like to get my blog back… i blog erratic but i Love this little space i’m slowly creating and feel a little helpless right now… can anyone please help?

many thanks and blessings

as for the doubling of the posts, maybe there is an answer somewhere in there too. i don’t think i’ll ever be an expert at this stuff but as frustrating as it can be, i’m appreciating the process. much thanks for any input
