    I was wondering if there was a way with CSS or even in the php to make the snd column go all the way down, even if there isn’t as much content… aside from adding blank spaces and enters. Right now it looks silly. I will of course be adding more to it, but I would like the two to be the same size regardless of content.

    Current Code below, Thanks!

    #sidebar_left{
	float:left;
	width:170px;
	padding:7px 6px 10px 10px;
	background: url(images/postback.jpg);
	border:1px solid #808080;
	-moz-border-radius: 4px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
	border-radius: 4px;
	margin-left:15px;
}
#sidebar{
	float:left;
	width:175px;
	background: url(images/postback.jpg);
	border:1px solid #808080;
	-moz-border-radius: 4px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
	border-radius: 4px;
	padding:7px 6px 10px 10px;
}

    yeah, I have NO idea what happened, I am currently just uninstalling and reinstalling, since I had all the files, it was easier to do that then to try to fix whatever I had just messed up! No more advanced playing for me!!

    it should be live again any minute, uploading the theme now

    It’s working now but having now seen your sidebars, I don’t think there’s any way you can force the second sidebar to match the height of the first. You could try changing the padding on #sidebar_left in style.css to:

    padding:7px 6px 66px 10px;

    but if your first sidebar’s length changes, you’ll need to amend the padding-bottom again.

    Since you have the radius border and background image, trying a faux columen probably would not work.

    Try adding to your css a min-height rule to both.

    min-height:600px;

    See how that works for you.
