I’m editing the defualt theme to fit my idea better, but I can’t seem to do a couple things. here is my site http://www.tronicscribe.com/wordpress you will see at the bottom of the footer there is a smal space which I want to close. I want the green bg to extend all the way to the bottom of the page. but how? also at the top in the sidebar I tried to insert a photo, but I must be typing the code wrong. how do I put a photo in the side bar? thank you.

looks like you figured out the green background issue, as far as the image, you probably don’t have the correct file path in your sidebar code. You have “images/author.jpg”, try the full path http://www.tronicscribe.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/tsthemeone/images/author.jpg

I tried changing the file path, but it still doesn’t work. thanks though. unless I’m still doing something wrong with the file path, I don’t know what it is.

Also, another question. How can I reverse the content colom and the sidebar? I want the side bar to the left and the content to the right.

did you use the URI that I provided in my post? That link returns your photo. Copy and past that into your sidebar file in the img tag.
As far as moving a sidebar, that is a little tricky, as the CSS is usually written to handle the sizes as is. Looking at your CSS, you are floating the narrowcolumn to the left, and using a sidebar with left margin of 540px. Basically you will need to change these values.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I used that URI, yes. Maybe my img tag isn’t correct? I can’t figure it out. I’ll keep trying.

Checking your validation shows that you are not using quotes to start your URI.
