http://www.scottandtelly.com is the blog im talking about.
Okay, I have a major problem. When I view my site, the footer bar is stretched out making it look horrible. In addition to that, when I view it in Internet Explorer the sidebar is pushed down to the bottom. What can be done about this?

This is very important, could someone please help me? :(
Validate it: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fscottandtelly.com%2F%3Fp%3D58
Although there are tons of horrid little eenie-beenie sins, the very last one is your problem. That extra </div> close. Were you recently doing some theme editing?

I took out the extra </div>, which fixed the footer bar. The sidebar is still messed though. :-\

Anyone? What can I do about it not looking right in IE?
As Han up here said, you need to validate.
If you don't validate, IE will display your page in quirks mode. Which means it'll be screwed up. If, after validation, you still have issues, you'll need to check the width of things in your sidebar and content against the actual width of the sidebar and content divs. If the stuff *inside* is bigger than the divs themselves, it's gonna move your sidebar down. (There are *tons* of threads on this *exact* issue here. At least 4 a day get posted here, and almost always given the same answer.)
The widths, by the way, also include your margins and padding. So if your div width is, say, 200px wide, with no padding or margins, but the image you've placed in therer is 190px wide with 10px padding, you're gonna be too big (190px +10px on left and 10px on right="210px. Too big.)
Long strings - such as long URLS or something will also cause this problem in IE.
So validate first, then if you still have the problem, start looking for "too wide" things.

My website had that issue, too. The right sidebar was tucked under the left sidebar when you viewed my blog in IE. The problem? My statcounter!
We use hi- stat, and bringing it over from blogger it screwed things up.
We found this by taking off things in the right sidebar until the website straightened out.
