   I'm messing around with the css to make a new sidebar on the left (in addition to the one on the right), but the float: left; isn't working right. It floats the new sidebar on the left, the content in the center, and then the old sidebar with float: right; on the bottom below all the text. Can someone give me some help as to how to float both sidebars properly?
   Here's what I have so far:

   Right sidebar

   #sidebar {
   width:25%;
   float:right;
   padding:0 0 0 15px;
   color:#000000;
   line-height:1.5em;
   margin:0 0 16px 0;
   overflow:hidden;
   border-right-width: 12px;
   border-left-width: 1px;
   border-right-style: solid;
   border-left-style: solid;
   border-right-color: #fff;
   border-left-color: #333333;
   }

   Now left sidebar

   #sidebar2 {
   width:25%;
   float:left;
   line-height:1.5em;
   overflow:hidden;
   border-right-width: 1px;
   border-right-style: solid;
   border-right-color: #333333;
   }

   If you don't know CSS well, then you'd be better off to look for a 3 column theme:
   http://themes.wordpress.net
   It is never as simple as you think! And don't post any more "sidebar" code - the problem is not there.
   And for future reference: don't ask display, design related questions without a link and specifying what theme are you talking about.

   ok, my apologies. I'm using the "ism" theme by headsetoptions.org. You can view my site at http://www.cwnutimes.com. Any help making this second sidebar would be much appreciated by the people of China.

   I am saying again: if your CSS skills are not at the level to understand why 25%+25%+60% will not work... then look for a 3 column theme.

   I never had 25-60-25. I changed that a long time ago. Can someone just tell me how to clear the center content by both the left and right sidebars?
