    I’m trying to figure out a way to make the content area go to 100% after the sidebar ends.  I have various sites where the content is much longer than what I have in the sidebar, so there ends up being a bunch of blank space for the rest of the way down the page.

    I tried a couple of things like making the sidebar a fixed height and making the content 100%, but that didn’t work.

    Anyone have any ideas about how to make the content take over where the sidebar leaves off?

    You could add “pagination” to the posts by adding this code into your posts. So if the content is really long you can split it into pages with page links at the bottom – 1, 2, 3, 4

    Yes, I suppose that would accomplish that though that’s not really what I was hoping for. :)

    You would need to move the sidebar into the content div itself and float it.

    That makes sense – I’ll try that.
