  I have to scroll down to the bottom to see my entire sidebar.

  Did I do something wrong in an individual post, is this a CSS / wordpress issue?

  Thanks for the help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  under widgets what is the location of your sidebar?

  Sidebar at the bottom is usually due to bad html in one or more posts. When something like that happens, you must first click the title of each post to see which post causes the problem (in your case it’s “Out of time).

  Next, go to Settings>Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes. Then edit the problem post (make any insignificant change, e.g. add then remove a space) and click Update Post.

  PS With that option on, this particular problem won’t crop up again.

  Ignore him.

  This post:

  Was apparently pasted from somewhere and contains some bad HTML. It’s either that one or the one above it. You’ll have to edit them to correct the HTML. First, go to your Dashboard->Settings and make sure you’ve selected that WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML. Then go back and edit the post and save the changes; you can edit a period to a comma, anything. Then see if that’s fixed it.

  Awesome, fixed. It was “Out of time.” Had an extra </div> I think. Thanks for the help!

  You’re welcome! (You probably had an extra opening, not closing, div tag.)
