Never did get any help on this one but luckily I resolved it myself.

The problem was a float:left: in my sidebar. Not exactly sure why it was causing a problem. My widths were all well under, but removing the float allowed my sidebar to go to the top of the page instead of getting hung up at the bottom of the second post.

Here is a link to an online version that I set up:

The only other thing I can think to do is install WordPress into a sub folder on my actual site and let you look at that. Won’t be a quick process though. Take a couple of hours or so.

My site is not live, it is a localhost installation that I am using until I work out all the bugs. The blank theme was downloaded from a tutorial on Lynda.com on how to convert static html pages into a WordPress Theme.

Not sure how to get you to see my site live. Trying to figure out how to show a screenshot of the page as it presently looks but haven’t figured out how to put a screenshot on this forum post yet.

Success. Using the absolute path worked even though this is a localhost setup. I can see the logic of using the absolute paths when using the img tag. As long as the folder lives in that location and with the referenced image, the image will always show up. Thanks all!

Thanks for the replies. I will try what you say. This is a localhost installation, so I will have to figure out my absolute path to the image and use that I assume. Or since this will be a live site eventually I will download the images to the server folder and use an absolute path to that. Hopefully that will work with my localhost installation.
