I have the following code for a wordpress theme. For some reason an arrow appears on the page. I originally thought it was because of the thumbnail but once I removed the thumbnail it still appeared but in a different spot. What I'm aiming for is have the blog post feature image appear left and the blog post info and excerpt float right. I can get that to work fine but there's an arrow < coming out of no where. Any suggestions what I've done wrong? Thanks!

                    <div class="entry-content">

                    <div id="leftsidebar">
                    <?php if (function_exists('dimox_breadcrumbs')) dimox_breadcrumbs(); ?> <p></p>

                          <h2><a href="<?php echo get_permalink( 14); ?>">blog.</a></h2>




                    <p><?php get_sidebar(); ?></p>
