PHP Noob Question. Please help.

I am trying to loose a "featured post category" out of the left column on my Wordpress theme. The left column is in the index.php page. When I deleted the code from the file it drops the right column to the bottom of the page. Here is the code for the section in question.

509media.com

_________________________________________________

I don't know if it matters but this is part of the theme I am using. The theme name is Mimbo.

<div id="featured-cats">
<h3><?php _e('Featured Categories','Mimbo'); ?></h3>

<?php
$display_categories = get_option('openbook_cats');
foreach ($display_categories as $category) {
$showposts = get_option('openbook_featured_posts');
query_posts("showposts=$showposts&cat=$category");
?>

<h5><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>"><?php single_cat_title(); ?>&raquo;</a></h5>

<ul>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li class="clearfloat"><p class="date"><?php the_time('n/d/y'); ?> &bull; </p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

</div><!--END FEATURED CATS-->

It drops the right column to the bottom because one of your DIV tags is not properly closed. Go to view source when on your site and see if a DIV tag is left open. This happened to me once and it was just a div tag issue.
