   Hi,

   I seem to be unable to make any changes to the format of the page content of my site. Am fairly new to css so imagine it is a simple mistake somewhere!

   Essentially, if I make any changes to #content in my stylesheet it doesn't change the appearance/style on the site.

   The code in my main index template is below (I am guessing my problem is from here):

   <?php get_header();
   ?>
   <div id="#menu">
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
   </div>
   <div id="#menuright">
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
   </div>
   <div id="#content">
   <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
   </div>

   Thanks

   <div id="#content">
   <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
   </div>

   Try getting rid of the hash, so:

   <div id="content">
   <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
   </div>

   Not sure about <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

   Shouldn't it be `<?php the_content('More...'); ?>

   `

   "<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>" is correct. It is gettexted.

   That fixed that problem - Thanks! I can now change the style of the content.

   Only problem now is that the content is below both the menus instead of between them...

   I have tried

   #content {
   float: left;
   clear: both;}

   with the menus as

   #menu {
   background: #000
   right: 2px;
   width: 200px;
   height: auto;
   float: left;
   text-indent:10px;
   margin: 0 10px 0 0;
   }
   
   #menuright {
   background: #000;
   width: 200px;
   float: right;
   margin: 0 0 0 20px;
   font-style:italic;
   }

   but no luck..any thoughts?

   Maybe

   position:absolute

   for the content...

   That did it! - thanks

   It then overlapped with the menus but i played around and this works for now

   #content {
   position: absolute;
   width: 390px;
   margin: 0 210px 0 200px;
   }
