    Suddenly yesterday, the sidebar decided to show up starting at the bottom of the main content. Obviously, it’s probably something I’ve done but I’ve been trying since yesterday afternoon to “undone” it and no amount of margin or content percentage jiggling seems to be working.

    Any clues would be greatfully accepted!! Thanks.

    As usual, the validator was no real help but a couple of the replies to the forum posts sent me back to look over my entries. Process of elimination (aka, “save as Draft”) found one that was doing something to something because my sidebar rupture only occurred when it was up. (My only regret in leaving blogger for word press is that word press’ error correction algorithms doesn’t seem to be as robust or accurate.)

    Re-did the post and all is well… Thanks again. This is getting to be a habit with you. ??

    Brain picking allowed? Somewhere in one of the WP style sheets is a value that sets the spacing between the main content and the sidebar. I know its there because I found it once but didn’t add it to my notes. Wouldn’t happen to know that one, would you?

    a bit odd, but I think what you’re after isn’t in the theme’s style sheet. Is probably in the header.php.

    See if playing with one of these guys will adjust that spacing:
    div.narrowcolumn { margin: 0 -210px 0 0; }
    div.narrowcolumn div#content { margin: 0 210px 0 0; }

    Ah! Nope, your labels don’t exist in any template but you made me look…

    ‘div#container {
    width: 90%;
    }’

    changed from 100% in CSS narrowed the main content, which was a good thing because the problem had only been fixed in IE, not FF… (The difference in the metrics between the two can drive you crazy!)

    Thanks again!!
