 * Only on single post pages:
    1. The entire background is gray instead of white
   as it is on pages, including the home page 2. No side bar or footer even though
   singlepost.php file shows <?php get_sidebar();?> <?php get_footer();?> at the
   bottom of the code

 * single post example page:
    [http://builtfromtrash.com/2010/08/13/before-the-build/](http://builtfromtrash.com/2010/08/13/before-the-build/)
 * Thanks for your help!

 * WordPress, by default, doesn’t call singlepost.php but single.php. If you don’t
   have a single.php, rename singlepost.php to single.php. If you _do_ have a single.
   php file, odds are it’s not calling get_sidebar() because the sidebar (and the
   div that clears it) are not showing up.

 * you have some `<div>`‘s that are not closed
    you have no closing `</body>` or`
   </html>`
