Blogger Widget Problem : Footer shows up on the sidebar

This post is about a problem I recently faced with my blog. The problem I faced was my footer would always show up on the right sidebar.

If something like this happens to you don't get worked up about it. If your footer shows up on the right sidebar like mine, it's probably because that </div> of the right sidebar is not closed. So, the footer always shows up where the right sidebar ends.

Check for piece of code something like this :

<div id='rsidebar'>

Check whether the </div> of the right sidebar is in its appropriate place.

There is another reason because of which your footer may show up on the right sidebar or left sidebar. The reason being that any one of the gadgets could be malfunctioning which may be causing your blog template to behave in an abnormal way.

The disadvantage of such a problem is that Google won't be able to do anything since the widgets are third-party gadgets.

The best way to solve this problem would be to remove one gadget at any time from the left or right sidebar. Then "Preview" the blog whether the problem has been fixed. If the problem persists, then remove all the gadgets from the left or right sidebar and then again check for the </div> tag whether they have been properly placed.

That should fix the problem.

You may think that applying a new template would solve the problem. But trust me, you're wrong. The same problem would arise in your new template. So, my advice, before changing the template, first fix the problem in your current template and then apply a new template. Otherwise, your blog contents may also get messed up in the process.
