Footer not aligning properly

    Hello,

    I recently decided to start up a blog. I don’t have a ton of knowledge on css or php but I can follow along more or less. I got fairly far in my theme design but I am now stuck. My footer along with the bg footer image is appearing all the way at the bottom of the page instead of having a relative position. What I’d like it to do is to stack neatly below the post content, regardless of how long the post is. I can’t figure out how to get it to do that instead of being all the way at the bottom there.

    Thanks in advance! I’ve googled and read through the codex but I still can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

    Start by sorting out the validation errors in the theme. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    Alright, ah… I have no idea how to fix the errors though, unfortunately.

    While messing around trying to figure this out I noticed that changing the sidebar properties also moved the footer. Example, if I moved the sidebar higher up, the footer moved with it. Now my sidebar is also messed up, I can’t help thinking that the problem is related.

    EDIT: I’m assuming fixing the errors listed in the HTML would be done in the header.php file? Otherwise I have no idea. =(

    EDIT EDIT: Alrighty, that was stupid of me…. the HTML info does not go in the header.php at all, dunno why I had it in there o.O, so that is fixed, but the main problem still continues. On to CSS…

    Ok, so everything validated now, still have footer problems and the sidebar is affected now.

    I believe I have resolved my issue, I just removed the footer image, not quite what I wanted to do but it works. Also made the sidebar float left, position absolute instead of relative and added a top px distance. Not sure why it didn’t work before but it does now, so good enough for me.

    Thanks for the advice on validating, I should remember to do that always now.
