Hi there
I'm new to BluePrint and must be overlooking something obvious. In
this grid:

 <div class="container showgrid">
        <!-- "row1" -->
        <div class="span-24 last"> Header </div>

        <!-- "row2" -->
        <div class="span-4"> sidebar  </div>
        <div class="span-20 last"> Content </div>

        <!-- "row3" -->
        <div class="span-12">Left footer area</div>
        <div class="span-12 last"> Right footer area </div>
</div>

Does not always display as expected. It seems like the placement of my
two column-12's (making up "row3") depends on the length of what's in
my span-4, which surprises me.

I.e., if the content in the span-4 is doesn't wrap (it contains
something like "sidebar", which fits into 4 cols wihtout wrapping)
then everything works as expected.. the two span-12's end up on a
separate line at the bottom of everything else, as follows:

Header
sidebar                    Content
Left footer
area
Right footer area


However, if the content of the span-4 is long enough to cause a line
wrap (say it contains "this is a line long enough to wrarp"), then one
or both of the span-12's are not in a separate row at the bottom of
everything else, they appear to the right of the span4, as follows:


Header
this is a line long      Content
enough to warp         Left footer area
Right footer area

If I add "clear" to my first span-12 (first column of row 3) then
everything lines up as expected.

What am I missing? Must I use "clear's"  all over the place to make
sure each rows ends up in its own "row" and doesn't end up somewhere
else?

Thanks!
Michael
