Footer displaying incorrectly

the space is also caused by the min-height of .post:

in style.css:

/* post */
.post {
	clear: both;
	padding: 0 0 0 107px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 30px;
	min-height: 100px;
	max-width: 650px;
}

Thanks!
Removed the min height bit (made it 0px).
Thats helped.
But, if possible, I would want the footer to display a little higher still.
Any suggestions?

for instance, there is:

20px margin-bottom on #content

#content {
	float: left;
	width: 980px;
	margin: 40px 0 20px;
	min-height: 200px;

}

10px padding-top on #footer:

#footer {
	clear: both;
	background: url(https://lh6.ggpht.com/_nBKCIRP_D9Y/TMHWdJT0juI/AAAAAAAAAXY/6iJamdKnojg/s800/message.png) no-repeat center bottom;
	//border-top: double 4px #b09370;
	padding: 10px 0 100px;
	position: relative;
	width: 100%;
	overflow: hidden;
	font: .9em/1.4em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #685138;
}

30px margin-bottom on .post

.post {
	clear: both;
	padding: 0 0 0 107px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 30px;
	min-height: 0px;
	max-width: 650px;
}

changing these values might effect the display of other pages.

Thanks Alchymyth!
These values completely escaped me, will be experimenting with them soon, to get the layout just right.

Just one more thing though, no matter what I do, I’m completely unable to get the comments box show up under the posts. Have tried everything I know. Any idea on why its not showing up?

(it shows up on all pages, except the one with the posts on it).

Please have a look here: https://arjunjassal.com/?page_id=19

try to add:

<?php global $withcomments; $withcomments = true; ?>

before the line

<?php comments_template(); ?>

Thanks for that.
I cant seem to find the <?php comments_template(); ?> line anywhere in the PHP that came with the template (using koi, if that helps).
Did go through the comments file (php), this is what it looks like.

<?php
// Do not delete these lines
if (!empty($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]) && ‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))
die (‘Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!’);

if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<p class=”nocomments”>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
<?php
return;
}
?>

Let me know if this has any clues in it!
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for that.
