   I'm new to this, but have experienced this problem on a couple sites. On my main page, it lists the latest posts, and on the right sidebar, all the widgets fall below the oldest post (still on the right side, but way down the page. How do I keep the widgets at the top right of the sidebar?

   Thanks,
   Rob

   often the result of mismatched divs.
   how does your html code validate?

   it's either that or a bad clear in your css.... without a link to your site, we can't help too much

   First thing to do is validate your code: The W3C Markup Validation Service.

   Try reducing the width and margin values of content div and sidebar div by trial and error. Also check up if any transparent images used as placeholders exceed the free width available for content ( - margin, padding).

   Sorry, I couldn't test it in IE6 since I do not have that wonderful crap.

    remember, just because you have many errors, you may not need to fix that many things. The first thing to do I've found is to really look at your theme...as in header, index, footer Every tag that gets opened has to be closed. I've had to do it on paper, write a tag that was opened, cross it out when closed.....

    it can be a pain, but I've had a simple missing jack up my whole theme and throw about 40 errors. I fixed that one thing, and I was perfect..... (also, if you are trying to get your theme all perfect, validate your site with all plugins turned off...some plugins will always cause errors)

    I use My DebugBar | IETester from 5.5 to 8 to test with all versions of IE.

    Okay, I do not know code. This was a (free) theme I got off wordpress. I will need lessons in code before I tackle this project. For now, RVoodoo you are right, as long as the site is working I will leave it alone. But knowing me the way I am, I will want to clear as much as possibel ..... eventually --
