 * I’m having problems with my sidebar. No matter what theme I use, the side bar
   ends up on the bottom of the content for the site.
 * Check it online at [http://academy.uwise.org](http://academy.uwise.org)
 * Does anyone have any recommendations for me to fix it?

 * Check your validation.

 * In particular, it would appear you have some extra tags in your post that are
   likely hosing things up.

 * Now… I’m not much of a PHP coder. I’m more into ASP, but trying to come into 
   the fold. Can you advise me on how I can fix it? I haven’t touched a thing up
   until I saw the problem…

 * Well, I see HTML errors, not PHP.
 * Would I be safe in guessing you wrote this post in something like MS Word and
   then copied/pasted it into your blog post editor?
 * If so, don’t do that! Word adds all sorts of stuff that just plain hoses up your
   formatting.
 * Try this: Go to edit your post. Select all text and cut it. Paste it into Notepad.
   Select all text in Notepad and copy it back to the post editor. That’ll strip
   out that extra html formatting.
 * See if that doesn’t get your sidebar up again.

 * You know… I usually do that because of that same dratted probem with MS Word!
   Lemme see what happens if I do that transfer you recommended.
