   Hello (o;

   Hopefully you can help me... I have just started a new blog and I have been customising the Kubrick template.... taken a few days of reading through my HTML books(!) but got there in the end... but still have 2 things I really can't seem to work out at all? ...

   First up... my sidebar looks great on the homepage but when I tried to include it on my single post pages (I think this is the right name... basically it is the page that it navigates to on clicking a blog entry title, bringing up a page with that blog entry and by the looks of it any other entries under the same category) - I can only seem to get the sidebar above or below the blog post, but not side by side like the home page???

   Second up... as you will see from my link below, there is a weird nesting display thing going on for links to the other blog entries I have made that come up above and next to my blog title on the single post page - I would love to ideally take this listing away or put the list in the sidebar?

   http://thehappygurublog.com/?p=9 (you can see both problems from this link)

   Thank you to anyone who can help (o;

   first:
   in the single.php, change this line
   <div id="content" class="widecolumn">
   to
   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">;

   second:
   these are the 'previous/next' links, and the post header might look already better with this new line added to the style.css (anywhere):
   .post h2 {clear:both;}

   Thats great, thank you so much! I really appreciate you getting back to me so quick AND fixing my puzzler!! (o;

   Re my second prob of the weird link listing above the header title on a single post page -I am guessing that this list will grow, the more entries I make? If so, is there a way to actually take that functionality off if I wanted to, OR a better way to display this info, maybe in the sidebar?

   Thank you!

   Looking at your page using Internet Explorer, the only thing I see above your post is links to the titles of your previous post, and your next post. That won't get added to....it'll always be a link to your previous post, and your next post, by title.

   You can change that a number of ways I would guess....some themes just display previous post and next post.

   I use the pagebar2 plugin, that displays numerical page numbers instead of post titles, or previous/next

   I had a look at that Pagebar plugin but it isnt compatible with my version (2.8.4)... but thank you... I will keep on tweaking the code for what Kubrick has given me and see if I can't make it look a bit better at least (o; Any ideas would be gratefully rcvd!!

   Thanks again!

   is a more up to date navigation system

   (I dunno if you are looking for numbers, or if you just wanta previous/next type thing)

   Or...you could drop the navigation under your posts.......

   I just like the page numbers thing as it seems to make navigation easier once you have a lot of posts.....
