Brilliant, thanks – I mixed up my black/white codes, a mistake which, even for a noob, must mean I’ve been at the computer too long.

Three cheers for esmi

That’s what my #footer already looks like in CSS, but the band of white is still there. I swear it’s like a ghost.

Well, I’ve done all sorts of things to make this work, but I essentially have the formatting I’m looking for. You can see it here:

The thing is, I did all of this manually. For example, this text:
“Rigor mortis?”
“I’m not an examiner.”
I knelt down, cradled the left wrist, and worked the joint. No
resistance. That’s when I saw him face to face, and knew I had seen him before.

was created by using the following HTML:
<div style=”padding-left:20px;”>“Rigor mortis?”</div>
<div style=”padding-left:20px;”>“I’m not an examiner.”</div>
<div style=”padding-left:20px;”>I knelt down, cradled the left wrist, and worked the joint. No</div>
<div>resistance. That’s when I saw him face to face, and knew I had seen him before.

I’m not sure if this will render correctly in all browsers/monitors. Any advice?

Can I bump this for another try? I still haven’t been able to resolve this issue.

It took me a while, but I found the stray div; I edited page.php to get rid of post titles but didn’t delete the div further down.

Thanks for being patient with a beginner, you can close the thread.

</div><!– #colophon –>
</div><!– #footer –>

</div><!– #wrapper –>

That is the HTML in footer.php

I’ve tried taking out the > element after div but that does nothing. I tried adding one too (I’m new to this so I tried everything.) If it doesn’t help when I take one away, nor does it help when I add one, how can it be a “stray end tag”?

Thanks for the response, it was very helpful; turns I wasn’t using the hash tags correctly to reference my edits.

I was going to start my own topic but found this; Rev. Voodoo’s solution works perfectly, furthermore he is a gentleman and a scholar.
