 * I’m having a problem with my sidebar in my single post pages. It’s pushed all
   the way to the bottom. Here’s an example: [http://www.basketballjohn.com/2008/01/03/recap-philadelphia-76ers-utah-jazz-3-january-2008/](http://www.basketballjohn.com/2008/01/03/recap-philadelphia-76ers-utah-jazz-3-january-2008/).
   I think one of my widgets is causing it, but I can’t find the right one. But 
   if I restore it to the defaults for the theme, it still does it. What file and
   code should I be looking for?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi. Please validate your code – I am almost certain that invalid code is causing
   this rendering problem.

 * Thanks, I’ll work on that. It’s worked fine before and I haven’t made any changes
   to the theme since I’ve got it. That’s why I thought it was a widget or something
   that caused it.

 * It’s quite possible that a widget is at fault here. Normally, I would try to 
   find out what is causing your problem, but the link you posted consists of 468
   lines of *incosistantly-tabbed* html not to mention aproximately 1600 lines of
   css. I attempted to sort through it, But it’s a bit too much for me. Please post
   back once the document is valid if you are still having problems with the sidebar.
 * Best,
    -Mike

 * also, on some themes, when the widths of things are specifically set, and say,
   a picture or something is posted that has a LARGER width then the sidebar or 
   main content, then the next item would be pushed down.
 * just thought id add another possibility into the mix.
