 * I have done ‘something’ while playing in the theme, and the sidebar at [http://www.janyuill.com](http://www.janyuill.com)
   is messed up.
 * Any ideas what I have done, and how to fix it?

 * Hi
 * You have the sidebar in the code before the closing </div> from the post area.
 * If its your main blog page, it is probably index.php in your theme folder. Near
   the bottom will be a call to the footer section.
 * Move the line that calls the sidebar just above the line that calls the footer.
 * Above that will be </div>
 * Save the file – that should solve your problem

 * Stvwlf,
 * OK. I’m in the index.php file. The very last bit of code is:
 *  <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
 *  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * What do I do with it? If I have understood your message, the sidebar line is 
   above the footer line.
