Hi Allen -
Thanks for your help. I guess I don't understand tables. I'm an HTML idiot.

I can cut and paste code. I think your tutoral is how I first created my sidebar two years ago and haven't messed with it since. But now that I'm adding in advertisers, I was trying to snug the bottom footer to be right under the last reply in posts to make it look better.
Have a great day and thanks again for your help.
Bill
