first of all, I like what you did there linking “phoenix patent attorney” to your site. Very good for your SEO.

I checked out your site. It doesn’t seem like you have an errant div like the normal issue explained above. Your case seems more like bad design. Now, I’m not a CSS expert and I usually leave the design to professional graphic designers but as a software engineer I can dig through the code and figure things out. Here’s what I saw from your site. You have mixed tables and divs. It’s usually recommended to either do it all in tables or all in divs. If you are going to mix it, then at least wrap your middle well with an overall div and make that “float: left” and the sidebar div “float: right”. Something like that should fix your issue but you still may need to play around with the divs and the CSS to really get it to work the way you want to.

Hope that helped.

I’ve got my blog set up to align under the headline image by using a table - everything in the page is within the table. I thought this table structure might be causing the sidebar to fall to the bottom, but I removed all the table tags and it still falls to the bottom. I also thought that it might be the widgets in the sidebar, but I’ve tried several different combinations of widgets, and each one appears at the bottom.

Any idea? - my site is linked to my name. Thanks!

Maybe if you link to your page that is having this issue, I can take a look at it and give you some advice.

The problem doesn’t exist when I allow users to comment without registering.

I’ve tried deactivating widgets one by one and that doesn’t fix the problem.

It only goes away when I give users the ability to comment without registering. Otherwise if they click on a post page, the sidebar goes to the bottom and they get a message stating, “sorry you must be logged in to leave a comment.” Please help…

In short, I had used copy/paste from the WordPress Visual Editor from a Page to a Post, and it had introduced div tags in the HTML. It happened on a post from a few days ago, and I hadn’t been to my home page for a while and therefore hadn’t noticed. I was looking at the wrong posts for the error.

Your post helped me out by pointing me in the direction of looking for misplaced div tags. Thanks again for the quick follow up, much appreciated! I gave you some kudos and a link back to your blog (and this post) in my own post on my fix for issue as well.
