I found something that looks hopeful. It still needs work (the caching mechanism is not complete), but it does seem to do what I’m looking for:

Do you know where this is added in Kubrick? I looked all over for » but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Nowhere in any of the li definitions does it seem to specify this element. This is driving me crazy!!!

Depending on your footer, I find it easier to change: “no-repeat bottom” to “repeat-y bottom.” That way the Footer will expand to incorporate your image and your text. It was driving me crazy that my footer text was moving up the page above the footer. Thanks to this thread I was able to solve the problem – without creating a bigger footer image. The trick is to use a footer that can be repeated. Not relying on images is obviously the best way – but if you do use an image make sure it can be repeated.
