    Do not edit the Twenty Ten theme. It is the default WordPress 3.1 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

    Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    You are not using a child theme. You are using a modified version of Twenty Ten.

    Try increasing the right margin on #content. It's currently only set to 280px - which is less than your sidebar's width.
