and here's what it looks like on my psp and i colored in to show what it should look like

Why do you use both the <br style="clear:both" /> and the <div class="clear"> ?

Getting the news and rSide to flush with the footer, you can use min-height:100px; inside the id="rSide" class in your CSS or use, if you want, the max-height:550px; statement.

However, after looking at your website with FF3.5, i see that what you are trying to do is a mere impossibility, since you have elements on the LEFT side that are X amounts of pixels in height and on the RIGHT side you have other elements that are X amounts of pixels in height. This means that either way you go, you will still be a few pixels off, around 25px, to be exact.

The easiest solution is however to add 1-2 more items in the RECENT ADDITION box, that will pull the LEFT and RIGHT more flush to the bottom of the page ( http://www.pspextreme.comli.com/ ).

This is very common problem with multiple sections on a page that will be constantly updated etc.

# Koradhil : Not easier, but certainly cleaner; it's generally better practice not to use style="".

Personally i think there is too much style="" in both plugins and core of Cotonti, at the moment.
I'm actually thinking about making a framework of commonly used style="" tags inside cotonti, to be able to steer them from 1 file, namely a CSS file, promptly named cotonti.css

I just hate editing 50+ files each time a new version of Cotonti arrives.
