    There is usually a minimum of 1 “wrapper” or container kind of div.

    Since your container div is what most people name the “content” div(the wrapper div for post and entry) there is nothing holding the rest of your blocks in place.

    Then you are floating the container div to the left and when ever you float you usually have to clear that float,unless you have enough content in all your pages in text or images for .entry to “push” the footer down…although this will usually still result in a maverick footer floating around where you don’t want it. It’s just easier to contain everything in one big div. That’s why it is called #container.

    I would add div id=”wrapper” right after the body tag in header.php & add clear:both to the footer css. Then close the wrapper div in footer.php right after the closing div tag for #footer.
    in header.php

    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">

    …header stuff like menu and etc.
    Don’t close the wrapper div in header.php.
    Do that in footer.php.
    Optional CSS:
    #wrapper{width:xxx;height:auto;margin:0 auto;/*centers if you want is centered*/}

    #footer {
        clear:both;
	padding : 10px;
	margin-top : 2em;
	width : 100%;
	text-align : center;
}

    then:

    <div id="footer">

J tech

</div>
</div><!--closes the wrapper div -->

    Good luck!
