How can I manipulate sidebar items?

  • Hello

    I have a blank sidebar with the option of using a sidebar widget. I would like to put some photos or other items in the sidebar, but when I put the first item in, it is too high up on the page. I would prefer that it be about 1/3 of the way down the page. But it automatically goes all the way up on the top right.

    How can I create some blank space so that the first item shows up in the sidebar farther down the page?

    Thank you for your help!

  • difficult to give the answer without seeing the theme, but I thing for sure – all you need is to make changes in style.css
    you can increase margin-top to the first div in sidebar or place an empty div with fixed height in your sidebar

    OK, so I have been poking around in my style.css file. Which of the following values do I change? Remember, I am using a widget in my sidebar:
    ———————-

    #sidebar {
	display: block;
	border: 0px;
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
	z-index: 5;
	position: absolute;
	top: 182px;
        left: 0px;
}

#sidebar ul {
	width:720px;
	min-height: 30px;
	list-style-type: none;

	font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
}

#sidebar li {
	display: inline;
	min-height: 20px;
        position: relative;
        float: left;

	height: auto;
	top: 100%;
	left: 0px;
	font-weight: normal;

	}

#sidebar li li ul {
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
}

#sidebar li li:hover ul {

}

/* initialy hide all sub sidemenus */
#sidebar ul ul,

#sidebar ul ul li:hover ul ul,
