    See the side menu is longer than the post page so the blue footer bar is placed in an ugly position. I'd like to add another post or ideally move the footer bar to even it out with the side menu.

    I thought of trying to set the posts to more than one per page and can't figure that our either.

    Thanks

    That's the easy part. In your WP admin go to "settings" and then "reading" and just set the number of posts per page to a higher number. You problem won't be gone when your visitors are reading single posts though, but that question about your footer is a CSS thing that is WAY over my head. Perhaps you should contact the theme author.

    Hi Dan,

    In your admin;

    Go to settings -> reading
    Edit number in box where it says - Blog pages show at most (set to a higher number)

    If you are going to have 3 or more posts per month, the footer will be forced down so it wont really matter.

    You could have a play with the css and set a min height for the content div.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks guys,
    That doesn't help though because as you mentioned if they look at individual posts the footer is still up high on the page.

    You could have a play with the css and set a min height for the content div.

    How would I go about doing that I am completely new to css and o.k with html.

    The problem is that you have the following structure:

    div rap
    div content
    /div content
    div sidebar
    /div sidebar
    footer
    /div rap

    you need to place a footer in it's own div outside of rap like

    div rap
    div content
    /div content
    div sidebar
    /div sidebar
    /div rap
    div footer
    /div footer

    I believe that would move the footer below the sidebar...

    Hope this helps

    Hmm. I looked at all of the php and css pages and cant find anything with rap in them. Can you point out where I should look?

    Thanks

    I have that issue also dblast. Anyone know what file needs to be edited to place the footer in it's own div? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
