Equal Columns are No More for Now

As much as I liked them, the equal columns that I had on this blog yesterday are no more for the time being. I just found out that when I tried to expand my archives past the month of November, you can't see them. They're cut off at the bottom of the page. I think the reason is that the method I used for the equal columns from BloggerBuster.com uses the middle column with the posts as the gauge for how long to make the sidebar columns. I guess whoever wrote the code just assumed that your post column would always be longer than the sidebars. Unfortunately, that's not the case when you have the kind of archive like I do. The minute you maximize the archive, the sidebar becomes longer.

Since my knowledge of CSS code is very limited at this point, I don't know how to change the code on my own. Thus, I have just removed it and allowed the columns to look the way that they do now. As soon as I can find another hack, if that's the right term, online that allows me to have both equal columns and a readable archive, I'll return the design back to its former glory. If anyone already knows how I can do that, please leave a comment and let me know. I really liked the way that the equal columns looked, and you'll save me the headache of searching.

Hey, there is an upside. At least my layout editor is back to working properly.
