 * Here are a few things I want to sort on this page: [http://rohitkumar.org/blog/?p=43#comments](http://rohitkumar.org/blog/?p=43#comments)
   Please help me 🙂
 * 1. The sidebar:
    (i)How can I make the grey colour background to extend all the
   way to the bottom?
 * (ii) How can I make the left border of the sidebar go all the way up to the footer?
 * 2. The footer:
 * (i) In footer.php, how can I customize the credit text? The last time I tried
   messing around with it, it screwed the whole design…

 * You barely waited two hours dude…this is free help.
 * I’m not going into IE to see this properly, but it should be a simple CSS fix,
   I’ll check it when I have more time.

 * Okay…………your issue is quite solvable but you need some changes to your css. Where
   did you get the theme ?
 * You need to use a ‘faux column’ technique which uses a small graphic to create
   the column while css positions the text with that, so giving the correct appearance.
   I haven’t opened IE to look but using the above technique will have the view 
   in both looking fine (it will also work in Opera and Netscape).
 * You have a couple of options:
    – Search for faux columns at the good css sites
   then read and experiment – Download the fantastic Gemini template from Stuart’s
   site ( [http://thebombsite.com/Layouts/124](http://thebombsite.com/Layouts/124))
   and play with that – A combination of the above.

 * The anthurium theme works well in any browser because it is based on Gemini. 
   But if you don’t have the gemini installed or its template files included in 
   your new theme – it will pull other template files, which would break it.

 * I’m sorry, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to do what I did… I will create a 
   new theme altogether then.

 * rohitkumar,
    it doesn’t mean you _cannot_ use it. WP comes with a `license.txt`
   which basically describes the situation here, since Anthurium mix (like all the
   themes entered into the competition) are under the same GPL license or something
   compatible.

 * Although Anthurium is designed to run with a Gemini index file it often ships
   without a faux column menu bg. It can easily be fitted. No hacking needed. Just
   add it in the rap CSS. Thanks for the kind remarks apropos Gemini. Sometimes 
   the simplest solution is the best.

 * ‘it doesn’t mean you cannot use it. ‘
    I fully understand that. But I want my
   theme to read my name in the author column. For this purpose I have been reading
   through Urban Giraffe’s dissection of a WordPress theme for the last, say, 4 
   and a 1/2 hours… (ala- very good site as well)
