blogsimplified 1.0.3 update
In this update, I made some changes so that the left and right columns are always the same height even if the content of the blogs or pages is longer than the sidebar.
Now both the main content area and the sidebar both fit within a mainpage id, which also has a min-height of 1240px, so that two adsense skyscraper ads can neatly fit in the minimum page size including margins.
I also removed the Google Analytics script from the footer. I use Google Analytics to generate site statistics for my sites, but I accidently left it in the theme footer. If you want to add your own Google Analytics code, you can cut and paste your own analytics script into the footer.php file just above the end of the body tag.
If i change the blog name at the top to anything other than h1 it creates a space/gets pushed above the links in the header (the page links). actually, just changed it to h3 and the sidebar still gets pushed down. h2 just pushes the name above the links like i have it at my site now.
<a href=”/”></h1
to
<a href=”/”>
check my site.

The way to do it is to change the style of the h1 tag in the style.css. Since I was not using h2 or h3 in the header, I never styled how it would position in the header. The way the styles currently work for the header is that the h1 floats left, then the navigation floats right, and then the tagline floats left again. I did this so that it would still look ok when someone increased the size of the font in their browser.
See the following:
#header h1 { float: left; }
#header h1 a:hover {text-decoration: none;}
#tagline p {width: 760px; min-height: 8px; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.9em; color: #0084b4; float: left; clear: all;}
If you are going to use one of the other header fonts in the header, you should add a style for it. Alternatively, change the style of the header h1.

Thanks for bringing up the issue, however. I will look at styling the other header tags in one of the upcoming revisions.
