I have added a background color to my sidebar on my blog Sox & Dawgs,
http://soxanddawgs.com
I would like the sidebar color to extend to the bottom of each page and not
lengthen it any more than the longest sidebar unless the content is that
long.
I have read the how to create a faux column with css but have not had any
success. So I turn here for help.
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very
much for your time.
Here is my css code.
