 * I’m currently building this page for someone ([http://www.rjthompsonmusic.com/about/stuie-ellerton](http://www.rjthompsonmusic.com/about/stuie-ellerton))
   and I’m having an issue with the sidebar.
 * Basically, because the main content of the page isn’t as tall as the sidebar,
   the sidebar is reaching all the way to the bottom of the page (with no gap). 
   I want to have a 10px or 20px gap below the sidebar but everywhere I’ve tried
   to add it doesn’t seem to work.
 * I’ve tried adding style=”padding-bottom: 10px;” to the div in the theme editor,
   and I’ve also tried adding 10px of padding to the stylesheet file for the “primary”
   widget area, and no luck.
 * Any ideas?
 * Many thanks!
 * ps. for some reason that link isn’t taking you to the page, so just copy it into
   your browser.
