  Hm, that is annoying, yes..
  I know there was a similar case with that theme some time ago, but I cannot find the thread.

  My first guess is that you have added something with “hidden” formatting. Please do not paste from Word or similar editor. This might be useful

  Try to remove the last post you added, and see if it returns to normal – then you know where the problem is, at least.

  This might help

  Even if your sidebar is not at the bottom, but in fact seems to be gone, give it a go.

  I checked your blog in firefox, opera and safari. Looks the same in all three.

  I would think that you can copy all of the text to your clipboard and then delete it from the post in the write window. Then using the paste from Word icon, paste it in that window and insert it back in.

  The other alternative is to select all of the text and then use the eraser icon to remove the formatting.

  You do have a lot of weird formatting – probably from Word. You may want to do the word -clean up with more than one post. And maybe not add any posts till you’ve solved it.

  Try to remove the things you added (posts etc) one by one.

  Go to settings > reading and set your blog to display only one post per page, and then go through them one at a time to see which post is causing the problem.

  According to W3C’s xhtml validator there are several open div tags and one open strong (bold) tag.
