"uncreative" skin bad layout

There's an issue with the "mcgee-uncreative" skin at the bottom if you add to your page a welcome note at the center and then a blog content at the center below it. At the bottom of the page, where the blog calendar and the blog categories etc. show, if you have few blog entries, then the skin doesn't look right (can grab a screenshot if you wish), as calendar and categories area goes below and outside the bottomline of the skin and a rectangular area (with the blog categories etc.) goes through it

Re: "uncreative" skin bad layout

This happens because it uses a column layout where left and right are positioned using absolute positioning. Things positioned using absolute positioning are not in the flow of the document, so in this case it is only the center content which pushes the footer down. So if you have less content in the center than the side it gets out of whack. The only real solution is to re-work that skin to use float based column layout instead of absolute positioning.

Unfortunately I have so many things to do that fixing this is a very very low priority for me. 

Best,

Joe

Re: "uncreative" skin bad layout

Since the workarround is to add more content to the respective blog area (the one which is placed at the bottom of the page), it's fine if you just log this issue in your bugs with such a workarround note.

Keep on the good work!
