 * I’d like to have the white background extend to the bottom of the page in both
   sidebars. Can someone take a look and see what I’m doing wrong?

   The css file: [http://www.purlygirls.org/wp-layout.css](http://www.purlygirls.org/wp-layout.css)
   Thank you!

 * You can make a background that has the size of your content, the navigation and
   the orange border. Then add it to the #rap.
    `#rap { background:url(images/yournewbackground.
   gif) repeat-y top; }`

 * Thanks for your suggestions. Neither really worked (I’m sure it’s something I’m
   doing incorrectly), but I do appreciate you taking the time to help me out. 🙂
   
   As bad a choice as it may be, I’ve reverted to a table layout, which I know how
   to control better.

 * The problem seems to be you’re using a fixed height (`height: 1250px;`) for your#
   rap. If you want that to be the minimum height, change it to `min-height: 1250px;`.

 * Hmm…now I wish I hadn’t been so eager to change to tables. I’d like to try that
   out. Thank you, Mark.
