White space between post text and navigation

    I’m getting white space between the end of my post and the post navigation (categories and comments button). The navigation is pulled down to where the left sidebar ends, leaving a space between the text and the navigation. I’m using sidebar widgets but the problem persists when I disable them. On a different thread, someone with a similar problem discovered their navigation <div> was outside the post <div> but I looked at index.php and that doesn’t seem to be my problem.
    I’ve put the relevant code here:

    The blog itself is here:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just can’t figure out what the problem is!

    I doubt if this will fix your problem, but around line 25 there’s a </div> missing.
    In Opera the posts start below the right sidebar, there’s whitespace above. So it seems like your right sidebar is in the way.

    edit: The Opera problem I mentioned was because of the flexible width in combination with a fixed size for your main content div.

    I seem to be doing a lot of this today 🙂 Frightening people, that is 🙂

    You have plenty of errors (view source in Firefox) including divs where they shouldn’t be

    This seems to be the most likely explanation

    Sort out the first few errors and the rest magically resolve themselves as there’s a cumulative cascading effect

    thanks for the pointers. I’m pretty new to all of this, but tackling the errors in the code makes more sense than just looking for the solution to a single problem.
    thanks again
