Actually i did create most of the pages while taking a web design class last fall and then have continued to work on the site intermittently since then. When i began to work on it from home i just logged in to my wp-admin page and continued my work. I don't recall that i installed WP a 2nd time.
I noticed that i have 2 blog pages listed in the Pages section:
- this one: http://gracechurchhouston.com/test-blog/
- and this one: http://gracechurchhouston.com/blog/
The first one seems to have the footer positioned properly (once i resolve the excerpt lengths in the sidebar)
The second one is where i'm seeing all the blog posts showing up and also is the one linked to the Blog link in the nav bar - but has the footer issue.
Maybe i need to delete the "blog" page and rename the "test-blog" page to "blog"?
Thanks for any insight you have!
