I ended up switching to another theme. Did not have the time to go thru the code to determine why it was pushing my sidebar down. Thank you for all the help.
So are you thinking there could be a problem with the <div> tags? Here is the code from that page (I think). Can you see anything wrong with it?:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class=”left”>
<div class=”left_articles”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div style=”border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238);”>
<div class=”buttons”>
<p>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”bluebtn”>Read More
#comments” class=”greenbtn”><?php comments_number(); ?></p>
</div>
<div class=”calendar”><p>
<?php the_time(‘M’) ?><br><?php the_time(‘d-y’) ?></p></div>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?> </h2>
<p class=”description”> </p>
<div style=”clear: both;”></div>
<div class=”post”> <?php the_content(); ?></div>
<br/>
<?php link_pages(‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
