   Ok, so I just created and uploaded a new template for WP. All is well except that the color of the links I chose are not showing up (almost invisible), and worse, my footer is non-existent and is being displayed in the left sidebar.

   Here is my site (I used Artisteer to create this and it was fine until I uploaded it to WP.)

   Thanks!

   Without actually seeing the site in question (it appears that you intended to link to your site, but omitted the link), I would hazard a guess that the problem is an unclosed, or prematurely closed, DIV tag somewhere. Try running your site through the W3C validator, which will help you find any such markup-related errors with your Theme.

   Shannon Lee Gilstad is my site. I made this template using a program and WP template are basically PHP, which I don't know yet.

   Seems to be css issue, check usibng firebug. I suggest add footer manually using footer.php with a new CSS class.

   I would recommend samfusion's advice. Firefox Firebug and/or Chrome Developer Tools will be your best friend, as you develop your website.

   By the way, I am not a fan of Artiseer. I've never seen anything good come out of using it.

   Your problem isn't PHP-related, but rather your HTML markup. You've either got a DIV not being closed properly, or something similar.

   Yes, edit and add following codes to your footer.php
   

   <div id="footer">
   <p>
   &a href="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> is dedicated to blogging about blah blah</p>
   <ul class="footerlinks">
   <?php
   wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
   </ul>
   <ul class="footerlinks">
   <?php
   wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>
   </ul>

   Almost there: I've somewhat fixed it but now it is too wide and the link colors are not showing up correctly: Shannon Lee Gilstad
