    Ah... you've hit the perennial problem where the sidebar is longer than the page content. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix. You could set a minimum height on your page content to push it further down but, as the sidebar length continues to grow, the problem would just reappear.

    I'd suggest that you start by cutting down some of your sidebar content. For example, it's highly unlikely that anyone will want a full list of your monthly archives going back to 2007. A yearly archive might be a lot more sensible.

    Try editing sidebar.php and changing:

    <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <!-- end sidebar -->

    to:

    <?php endif; ?>
    <li id="archives"><?php _e('Archives:'); ?>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=yearly'); ?>
    </ul>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <!-- end sidebar -->

    Then get rid of the Archive widget in Admin/Appearance/Widgets.

    and what can i do about the non uniformity of the fonts in the sidebar?

    yearly works is there a way to make it then nest to another longer page of posts for that yea and then a sidebar with monthlies for that year so people can zero in?

    Archive list first - have a look at the archives.php custom page template in the default theme. It should be possible to create a similar custom page template in the classic theme to list all of your archives.

    I can't see any non-uniformity of fonts in your sidebar. Can you be a little more specific?

    ">SCREENIE

    See the screenie, notice the "Donate to me stuff" is not uniform with the buttons to go to pages. i want it all to be the same font!

    Get rid of all of the references to <font size="1"> and </font> in your text widget.
