 * Hi.
 * I’ve started trying my hand at Theme creation. I have a theme and have been hacking
   the css and php to make it look how I want it.
 * My problem is, when the FOOTER is displayed, it seems to only be taking into 
   account the height of the POSTS area but not the SIDEBAR.
 * Ie. If there’s a page full of posts, the FOOTER is under everything. But, if 
   there is only one post shown, the FOOTER displays on top of the SIDEBAR.
 * Ex. 1:
 *  Header
    SB | Post SB | Post SB | Post Footer
 * Ex. 2:
 *  Header
    SB | Post SFooter SB | SB |
 * Thanks.

 * Well, imagining what you’re talking about, I could say to add either a `<br clear
   ="all">` or better yet, `<div class="clearthis"></div>` just before the footer.(
   for the second one, you need to add following to your style.css — `.clearthis{
   clear: both; }`

 * Thanks. I tested that but it didn’t fix the issue.
