Editable Sidebox Question

I added an editable sidebox to the template but there is a blank line causing the bottom of the box not to fit correctly. I can't for the life of me figure out why? Any ideas?

take it off and let's see

and try to add a item below
so it will move down a bit

Yep. That was it. If you use the HTML editor it throws the text into <p> tags anytime you hit return for a new line. If you take out the <p> and use a </br> the box works just fine.

Kinda weird it would do that though...

Most editors do those weird stuff
I like clean and valid code

BTW the website looks good :)

Thanks. I'd feel a lot better if I could get the background to work right. Trying to use an image for the page background while keeping the header, body and footer all one color background and can't seem to find the right classes.
