HELP! Errant blockquote messing up my layout

Hi,

I’ve been toying with a WP layout (with some help from sitepoint) at http://sandyschussel.com/ and have it down to one remaining issue: a stray opening <blockquote> in blog post previews on the home page. There’s no blockquote in the CSS and as was suggested by someone here http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4674453&posted=1#post4674453 maybe it’s coming from

the_excerpt();
The only place I can find the_excerpt(); is in the search.php file so I’m not sure about that.

Can anyone help me figure out how to locate and strip the blockquote from the home page post summary?

Thanks.
