   I have changed the theme of my blog to twenty eleven and set up the page layout with the posts to the left and a right hand margin.

   I am unable to display a side bar in the margin as the posts remain centred.

   In the edit page there is a format box where I click for post positioning. Whatever one I tick the posts remain centred. There isn't an attributes box like there is for pages.

   How do I get the text to position to the left of the page so that I can insert a side bar?

   Twenty Eleven provides no such metabox on the Edit Post page. Perhaps a Plugin is generating that metabox?

   Whatever one I tick the posts remain centred.

   That's because the single-post view for Twenty Eleven is a centered, one-column layout, and Twenty Eleven does not provide any Theme options to configure that layout.

   There isn't an attributes box like there is for pages.

   That's because Posts and Pages are two completely different content types, with completely different uses and attributes. These distinctions are part of WordPress core, and are not specific to the Twenty Eleven Theme.

   if you haven't already, please create a child theme for Twenty Eleven to work with;

   then possibly try this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/
