help removing unwanted graphic

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

How do I remove the small elongated rectangular shape between the "Latest post" and "Archives" section at http://www.simonlindgren.com ?

The code surrounding this place is:

<div class="column span-4 first">

<h3 class="mast">Recent Posts</h3>

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('cat=-' .$catid. '&showposts=5&offset=1&orderby=post_date&order=desc');

while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();

$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

<div class="home_recent_post">
<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumb_home_img', true) ) { ?>

<?php } else { ?>
<div class="home_recent_thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php
the_title(); ?>"><?php if (function_exists('the_thumb')) { the_thumb('altappend=recent_&subfolder=recent&width=48&height=48&keepratio=0'); } ?></a>
</div>

<?php } ?>


<div class="home_recent_title" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</div>

<div class="home_recent_date">
<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>
</div>

<div class="home_recent_auth">
By <?php the_author(); ?>
</div></div>


<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php include('ad_home.php'); ?><?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('MiddleColumn') ) : ?>





<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

</div> <!-- end home_content -->
