This whole part may seem confusing, what it does to wrap the entire section at the bottom in 1 div, then it has 6 different sections for new divs, I made it this way so someone could very easily add in more rows if necessary with only having to change around a few tag names, and working a little bit adding some to the css.  This way also allows it to wrap around as it minimizes, it just adds more rows for people with smaller browser windows. */#wrapupperbottom{width:900px;}#upperleft{float:left;}#uppermid{float:left;}#upperright{float:left;}#lowerleft{float:left;}#lowermid{float:left;}#lowerright{float:left;}#specialheader1{background-color:#000099;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;font-size:1em;width:300px;}#specialheader2{background-color:#000099;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;font-size:1em;width:300px;}#specialheader3{background-color:#000099;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;font-size:1em;width:400px;}/* end bottom structuralization *//* This below here is goign to kill some of the obnoxious parts out of the lists, removing the bullets, pulling away the padding on the left hand side ex cetera. */li{list-style-type:none;margin-left:0px;padding-left:0px;}/* end the part with messing around with the lists */#bottom{clear:both;}

Here is a url to the websiteWebsite HereNow the problem I am having the the footer at the bottom, the copyright information is at the bottom, great.But what is going wrong, is when I minimize the screen, everything works 100% like I anticipated except for the fact that the footer(copyright information), get's kicked up into the upper part, I don't understand why this is happenening, this layout is a little deeper than my other projects but most of the time it flows just fine with the rest of the page content.
