I fixed it by changing float:

/*—:[ core layout elements ]:—*/

}#content_box { width: 900px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; }

I changed this to float: center

I am still working on the space under the header image and under the nav bar. Driving me nuts!

I got it!!! I changed

#content_box { width: 900px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; }

TO

#content_box { width: 900px; text-align: left; float: center; clear: both; }

I still have the spaces though…………
I will get rid of them… I will darn it, I will!

that’s ok – I tried adding <div id =”container”> and it did not work –
I’m not going to give up though – I have had this theme for a while and have had this issue with wanting all of the page in the middle so you can see the brown all the way around, I haven’t been able to figure it out, have tried other themes and keep coming back to this one. ???? Long day!

when I got rid of it before, the whole list would screw up, but I changed the ul-nav thing and it got it closer – there is still a small space, but I can live with that – I am still stumped on how to get the white part to line up? How does it look on your end? I’ve tried ie and firefox

here is the style.css

FOR SOME REASON, IT IS ACTUALLY READING THE CODE AND DIVIDING IT??

If you have cutline, you can change the nav links in the header. This is how I have mine, I don’t know how to have it change when you scroll over, but maybe this will give you an idea? If you want to see what it looks like https://www.bloggingforjesus.net I am about to change the pictures of the buttons, so if you want to check back tomorrow too maybe? (DO NOT INCLUDE WHAT I HAVE IN CAPS)

((THIS IS THE HEADER IMAGE))<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body class=”custom”>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/love.JPG” width=”945″ height=”351″ alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blogging for Jesus!” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blogheader” />

((THIS IS THE REST <ul id=”nav”>

• <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’);
  ?>/images/home.JPG” width=”81″ height=”40″ alt=”home”
• <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’);
  ?>/images/contact us.JPG” width=”131″ height=”40″ alt=”about us/contact us”
• <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’);
  ?>/images/tackle it tuesday.JPG” width=”194 height=”40″ alt=”tackle it tuesday”

Yea!!!!!!!!!! That did it!! You rock the house!! Now I am going to narrow down the sidebars and even out the content width to have it centered. I have one more question that was next on my agenda about replacing the headings on the sidebars (categories, search, recent entries, blogroll, etc) with image headings similar to those found on the left sidebar (which I will also be changing to match the header image here shortly. This is further down the line, but I was just wondering if you knew what I was talking about or knew how to do that? It seems that the widgets are different than adding an image w/ html through the text widgets.

Here is what I am trying and it is not working? Maybe I’m not doing something right?

Code before:
/*—:[ core layout elements ]:—*/

#container { width: 1000px; margin: 15px auto 0 auto; }

#content_box { width: 1000px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; }

#content { width: 520px; padding: 0 0 0 20px; float: left; }

and after:

/*—:[ core layout elements ]:—*/

#container { width: 1000px; margin: 15px auto 0 auto; }

#content_box { width: 1000px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; }

#content {background:#fff; width: 520px; padding: 0 0 0 20px; float: left; }

I’ve tried adjusting the spaces and even calling it #ffffff???

I’m so glad you are online! I’ll try that now!

I’m also working on narrowing the entire page – sidebars and content so that you can see some of the background on the left and right as you go down? Any suggestions on that?

The address again is https://www.bloggingforjesus.net

This is how I finally got it to work:

In css file, here is the code before changing:

body { background: #fff; color: #333; font: 62.5% Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif; text-align: center; }

and after:

body { background: url(‘/wp-content/themes/Cutline%201.1-3ColumnSplit/images/bluetileback.JPG’); color: #333; font: 62.5% Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif; text-align: center; }

However, it is now filling up the whole page – which is ok, but I would rather have the middle white, or some other image? Any suggestions
