Mpwassler on "[Theme: MesoColumn] how to reduce the height of footer top"

footer top is not the problem all the way down in one of those widgets there is this
.widget-area aside {
float: left;
width: 100%;
list-style: none;
margin: 0px 0px 3em;<-- I belive this is your problem. make it 0
padding: 0%;
}
