 * I am in the midst of building a WordPress site with a theme I made myself. I 
   have been modifying the theme as I go to meet functionality requirements, however
   I have came to this fork in the road. Every time I post a new post on the recent
   posts page, the posts leave the content area. How can I make it so the design
   can modify itself (or better extend it’s content area) every time a new post/
   comment is added, and that it looks presentable. In other words, how to handle
   an overflow. I’m using a vertical scroll bar right now, but I would like to know

 * Sounds like you may have CSS issues and/or code errors – start by validating 
   you pages:

 * And use a tool such as Firebug to see what is going on with the CSS (i.e. why
   that overflow is happening) – if you content element(s) are floated, you’ll need
   an element with a “clear” below those to put them “inside” the containing element.
