 * I have read several other posts with side bar issues but none have helped with
   my problem. Half of the themes (kubrick, connections) display my blog with the
   side bar dropped to the bottom, below all my blog entries.
    I just installed 
   2.0 so the problem is not in templates or style sheets. I’m totally stumped. 
   Please help!

 * More notes on this issue – the archive/search/category pages display the sidebar
   in the correct place.
 * Also, for some reason changing the body element (very first on stylesheet) changes
   the body fontsize and also the sidebar fontsize. Not sure if this is relevant
   but I don’t think it sould happen.

 * In your sidebar, find the segment where you have the comment start:
 * `<!-- cats go here`
 * Add this to the end of the line:
 * `-->`
 * Basically what has happened is you opened a comment but didn’t close it.

 * …and as a note, in general, the body tag’s associated style should affect your
   ENTIRE site, unless the style is overridden by other more specific style. I will
   spare you all my lecture on specificity. 🙂
