Thanks, you were so helpful!!

Sorry to make a seemingly useless bump, but does anyone, anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? Please? With sugar on top?

Hi, and thanks! I appreciate your suggestion. There is a specific reason why that particular negative padding declaration is in there. My sidebar does not have a negative padding declaration or the background image thereof (for displaying the red background):

Sidebar CSS:

#sidebar {
	float: right;
	padding: 5px;
	width: 190px;
	font-size: 9pt;
	color: #fff;
}
#sidebar a {
	color: #999;
	text-decoration: none;
}
#sidebar a:visited {
	color: #999;
	text-decoration: none;
}
#sidebar a:hover {
	color: #6699ff;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
#sidebar img {
	border: 0;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

Background image CSS:

#main {
	position: relative;
	width: 800px;
	height: 100%;
	left: 25px;
	background-color: #fff;
	background-image: url('http://allirense.com/sideback.gif');	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	background-position: 100%;
}

To see the rest of the css, go here: http://allirense.com/testblog/wp-content/themes/hacdc/style.css

Okay, I stopped getting the “about” section to show up and instead received this error:

Warning: main(/home/allirens/public_html/testblog/wp-content/themes/hacdc/searchform.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/allirens/public_html/testblog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 6

I’m going to delete the php code for now, but I really need the widgets working.

Thanks for the tip. It looks great in Firefox and Safari! However, it looks horrid in IE (7): there’s a 4px overlap between the skyline image and the navbar, plus the navbar is sticking out a centimeter or so on the right hand side of the page. How can I make this IE compatible?

Okay, it is valid. But now, not only is the alignment problem still an issue, but the white background does not extend all the way to the bottom of the page.

I finally got it working somehow. I’m not sure what I did that was different from how it was originally with all the stuff I tried in-between.
