Menu
I am having two issues with my footer element:
1) I managed to finally make it stick to the bottom of every page, but,
2) once I did that, my opacity transition effect inside div class=sectionalblock refuses to work. If I get rid of my footer, then it continues to work. When I switch to absolute positioning, it sticks to the top of my page.
Anyone have any ideas how to go about this? I know this has something to do with the positioning being relative or absolute, but when I try absolute positioning, it just refuses to stick to the bottom of every page, and doesn't adjust itself with the page size.

</html>Here is the JSFiddle working demo https://jsfiddle.net/nxb8bann/4/

I managed to find out the issue, it was due to z-index. Please change your css to this:
.sectionalblock:hover span{
opacity: 1;
}
and
div.sectionalblocks
{
float:left;
display:inline-block;
position:relative; /*removed z-index
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
}
It was due to the negative z-index. The cusor was unable to read the sectionalblocks div because it was way down due to z-index.
Also you don't need to float absolute positioned elements. e.g span.text-content.
here is the updated fiddle
