I am in the middle of building my new portfolio and things have been going great up till now as I have hit a snag and can’t seem to find out whats going wrong.

If you look at the site [here](http://www.zestcreativestudio.com/zestcreativestudio/index.html)

You you will see in the sidebar I have a slightly darker box as the background but it only goes as far as the rss. I am wanting it to go 100% to the footer I have tried .sidebar { height:100%;} but not luck.

Would love it if someone could shed some light I’m sure its a totally silly mistake or perhaps something to do with the jQuery twitter.
