 * I’ve been working on and off for some months now on a new design/CMS at [http://test.wildmind.org](http://test.wildmind.org)(
   it’s still work in progress — please don’t laugh!)
 * I must have changed something, because the tagcloud div has now dropped below
   the sidebar. I’d assumed it was a width thing, but changing the width of the 
   tagcloud doesn’t fix anything.
 * I’m guessing it’s something to do with clearing floats, but that’s an aspect 
   of css that’s still a bit of a mystery to me.
 * The page [validates](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.wildmind.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1)
 * My monstrously bloated css is [here](http://test.wildmind.org/wp-content/themes/wp-andreas01-12/style.css).
 * Any pointers would be much appreciated.

 * You have a div clear prior to the cloud in your markup.

 * I do! I put that there because without it the tagcloud div disappears altogether.
   Take a look now — I’ve deleted that div clear.

 * A clue may be the gray border that’s appearing to the right of the left column(
   that is, the left of the two center columns). There’s no border specified in 
   the style sheet. I’m not sure what that means.

 * Well, it turned out that the gray border I was seeing between the columns was
   actually the tagcloud squeezing itself in there. The solution wasn’t, as I thought,
   to clear the float after the floating columns, but to make the tagcloud itself
   float left.
 * One I imagined it as being like trying to float an array of images it all fell
   into place. Really, css can be *so* confusing.
 * Still, a happy ending.
