If you still have the “default” Kubrick theme in your themes folder, go in and make a copy of “links.php” and use that to display your links page. You do this by specifying that you want to use “links.php” as the template for the page your creating (one of the the sidebar sections on the write page). This is the same for all the rest of the pages except they should use a file called page “page.php”. Both of these files need to have the loop in them to work. Your site is currently using “index.php” (that’s why they all look the same) to display the pages. Here’s an article about template hierarchy:

Good place to start.

If that works than you need to copy and page the main index.php file located on wp’s root folder (not the theme folder) into your domain’s root. Then you alter this part to do direct it to the right place:

Before:
<?php<br />
/* Short and sweet */<br />
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);<br />
require('/wp-blog-header.php');<br />
?>

After:
`<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

Got a link to troubleshoot with?

For the snippet question you can replace the_content with the_excerpt. As far as the fixed height issue, you’ll have to simply alter your theme some more. Here’s a great article that explains how to have your sidebar extent to the footer (or vice versa) without stuffing it with a bunch of content to simply push it down (or using a fixed height).

index.php displays posts. page.php displays pages. Could you elaborate some more?

The only css rule I could find that could be causing this (just a quick scan) is this one:
.credit {
background: #90a090;
border-top: double 3px #aba;
color: #fff;
font-size: 11px;
margin: 10px 0 0 0;
padding: 3px;
text-align: center;
}
