title: Wordpress post querying returns links
body: <p>I am modifying an out of the box wordpress theme. I am trying to do something rather simple, adding a post query to the homepage. Only the query is returning links wrapped around everything.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my testing site:
  <a href="http://calgarywildlife.org/wordpress/#" rel="nofollow">http://calgarywildlife.org/wordpress/#</a></p>
  
  <p>Any clues would be greatly appreciated
  Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>Here is my Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php query_posts( array('posts_per_page' =&gt; 2, 'cat=14') ); ?&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;div class="hp-eventthumnb"&gt;&lt;?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class"hp-eventdetails"&gt;    
          &lt;h1&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php substr(the_excerpt(), 0 , 250); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;?php endwhile; ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>UPDATE: 
  It only appears to be happening on items generated from this query. I am add any other HTML to the page and it does not get treated the same way.</p>
