   Hi. Sorry to post again but I got no answers and I think I have narrowed down what the problem is that someone might be able to help with.

   I have a blog at http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog
   that I want to make look like

   http://politzer.brinkster.net/Blog.html

   Something about the WordPress code is making that container wider than it should be. How do I customize it so that it stops interfering with the sidebar? Thank you.

   A couple of things to try.

   Add the width to your .entry class:

   .entry {
   	background: #ECDB96 url('images/corner.jpg') no-repeat top left;
   	margin: 20px 20px 0 0;
   	padding: 12px;
   width: 530px;
   	}

   Change the padding in your sidebar ID:

   #sidebar {
   	background: url('images/sidetop.jpg') no-repeat top;
   	padding: 0 0px 40px 0px;
   	margin-top: 202px;
   	}

   And not sure why you have this div ID and class in place?

   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

   I will try those things.
   I am not sure where the content and narrowcolumn class came from.
   Thanks.

   The removal of the sidebar padding helped, but I don't think "entry" might be the right thing. I narrowed the "entry" to 500 px but it's not doing anything.

   Maybe the problem is that I have the sidebar info in the header.php?

   I got rid of the php include sidebar in the index(?) because I wanted to use my own navigation sidebar instead of the WordPress one.

   Where should I put the sidebar info?
