    Please take a look at my website: awanderingsole.com

    I have change the image behind my main posts. Rather than being a solid background, I’ve changed it to an image of a notebook. The problem is my text needs to be moved to the right, so it’s not overlapping the spiral part of the image. I’ve tried to change different things in my CSS but so far, no luck. Can you tell me where in my CSS I can move the text over?

    Thank you in advance!

  • well…I’m not at home, so I don’t have access to any developer tools….

    if you use the firefox browser, cosider adding in the firebug addon, it lets you check out your css, and experiment with it to see where to make changes.

    But just glancing at your css, I’d say in one of these 2 places….

    #content {
                margin-top: 120px;
                padding-bottom: 4em;
                width: 100%
	}

    or

    #main {
			float: left;
			width: 681px;
		}

    you need to add a padding or margin to the left

    padding-left: 20px or margin-left: 20px

    just play around and see what you get

    (remember to backup your theme before playing around, and also to refresh your browser ctrl+f5 to see css changes)

    I really appreciate you taking a look. Unfortunately, I tried manipulating those two areas, and the text didn’t move at all. I’m not sure what the problem is…

    have you tried left-padding or left-margin on .post

    div.post { padding: 5px 0px }

    to something like:

    div.post { padding: 5px 0px 0px 25px }

    again…I’m kinda flyin blind here…..

    I had not tried that and IT WORKED! Thanks so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to sift through it.

    sure! glad I could muddle through it myself!
