Why won't my footer stay at the bottom of my webpage?

I can't get my footer to stay at the bottom of my page. I don't know where i messed up. I used the "clear: both;" rule in my CSS, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Hi Sam, Where is the footer placed within the HTML? is it at the very end of your code?
