Three formatting questions – modified default theme

Never mind, I apparently fixed #1 on my own. But the other two I still need help with!

question number two: I don’t know where you want the sidebar to be placed but if you want it to display at the right side: edit the CSS so that your #sidebar has float:right; like so:

#sidebar {
    width:190px;
    padding:20px 0px 10px 0px;
    float:right;
}

And maybe give your #content float:left;

Also: get rid of that margin-left:600px; on #sidebar

as for question number three: make sure the posts are placed in the <div id=”content”> tag.

I hope it works! Good luck.

OK, now the sidebar is all the way to the right where I want it, but yesterday’s post is still sitting on top of it instead of being in the same column with all of my other posts?

I tried putting the div id=”content” tag on both sides of the offending post but that just moved it, not its heading.

If I click on an individual post, then the background is white.

If I’m looking at the main page of my blog, then the background is orange. I want it to be white all the time.

In your CSS, add overflow:hidden; to your #content. This will make the height of the content dynamic so it adapts to it’s content.

I see that the content div only contains the first post which means that in the loop used in your index.php (in your theme’s folder) to show the posts there’s one </div> tag too many. try removing the last </div> tag used in the loop to view the posts. Or move it to a spot AFTER the loop.

the next time – when having problems like this: use Google Chrome. right click the page and press inspect element (or something like that, i am using the dutch version) this way you’ll see the layout and you’ll understand how wordpress made your page with the current theme.
