After working fine for a few days, my sidebar suddenly moved to the bottom of the home page (other pages are fine). Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray

Chances are you put something into the sidebar or home page/post that is too large for the area.
Loo for recently added pictures, thumbnails or other objects that are a fixed sized.

There are no pictures, thumbnails, videos or other fixed size objects in either the posts or sidebar- it is all text. There are only a few standard sidebar items - search, links, archives, etc.

We would need an URL to the site so we can see what might be going on.
Did you add *anything* to the site, plug ins? Widgets? Code? Anything other than just text?

I found the problem- I inserted a field that contained a "more" button to allow the post to continue on another page. This field was a fixed width. All I needed to do was drag the boundary to make it smaller.
Thanks

I'm having the same exact problem. When I insert the 'more' tag in a post the two sidebars drop to the bottom of the main reading area. Wehn I remove the 'more' tag everything is fine.
However, I am unable to resize the width of it in the Edit Post window.
Could you please explain the steps that you took to resize this?
Also, is there any way to redefine the width of the 'more' field in any of the template files?
Thanks!

I was unable to do the suggested fix for this and resize the boundary of the 'more' tag, but I snooped around and found the problem.
The apparent problem is the placement of the 'more' tag relative to the 'div' tags. I found two solutions that offer slightly different results. Some of my posts did indeed have 'div' tags in them, and some of them did not.
Go the the HTML editor and see if there are 'div' tags. If you have the subject problem, your post will look like this:
<div>blahblahblah<!--more--></div>
change it to this:
<div>blahblahblah</div><!--more-->
This will put the 'more' phrasing below the post.
The other way to fix this is to go to the HTML editor and strip out all of the 'div' tags and insert the 'more' tag using the HTML editor's menu bar at the appropriate place in your post.

This will be such a pain for actual template users.
This should be fixed!

Some users just copy content from ms word and paste into wordpress it causes the sidebar problem in IE.
