you are probably using a floated elements, when you increased your text, it overflowed that caused the sidebar to move down. my solution is to calculate both your content width and sidebar width in order for them to fit together. Or why not increase your body width. Another probable cause of this is your DIVs i happened to me before, I forgot to close some divs or other blocking elements. Hope this helps.
I have been going through the CSS but don’t really know what to change. Like I said this css is a little more involved than my other blogs. for the DIV’s are you talking about in the posts?
It was open DIV tags. Seems there was one open in every post. Don’t even know how they got there! Must have been from me fooling with the theme!
well i guess you already solve your problems, congrats!
