Okay, found out some things on why the themes were not working. This may be helpful for anyone else who is having a problem with their sidebar in wordpress. Two things were causing problems. The first thing I was having problems with was running javascripts in the sidebar, not good. It, as well as the next situation, pushes the sidebar to the bottom of the page. The second thing, and the biggie, was pictures. If pictures run past the fixed width of the post colum it pushes out the sidebar.
Avoid those two and you should be good to go.
Got my copy of Will Richardson’s book today (Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts…..)!
