   A sidebar appeared completely at random on the side of every one of my pages. I can't get rid of it, either. I have no sidebar widget, and no idea what could be causing this.

   Looks like its the main sidebar widget in your theme. Do you have any widgets activated in the main sidebar?

   No, and in the theme I'm using (Weaver 2010), and I don't see a widget labeled "main sidebar". There is one called "primary widget area" and like the others, it has nothing.

   Bump. The sidebar's still there. No widget for it, but it's there. As a side note, if I put a widget in the primary widget area, it will replace the sidebar, but when I remove it, the sidebar comes back.

   I believe it is related to the lines

   #primary, # secondary

   is style.css

   comment out that section

    I used a css mod tool and when i removed that css the widget disappeared...

    Remove these lines:

    #primary,
    #secondary {
    	float: right;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	width: 220px;
    }

    from http://www.geoideas.net/wp-content/themes/2010-weaver/style.css

    Thanks. That didn't work, but maybe becayse any changes I make to style.css aren't reflected in the link above? Why would that be?

    Are you using any caching plugins? Also, clear your browser cache after making css or site mods.

    Wow, I feel a bit like the cat in the hat. Now the entire front page is a giant sidebar!

    I no longer see the widget!

    Try updating or using another modern browser.

    Scroll down on the main page. The "search" and "archives things are there, and the whole page is the color of the widget. It's as if the front page is somehow inside the widget itself! Do you see what I mean?

    Weird. Maybe a mac/chrome thing. I'll try to look at it on another computer. Thanks for your help!

    I would:

    A: Chuck that Mac out the Window
    B: Use IE9 on W7 or Firefox.

    Chrome was made to serve ads fast and cut down on server load at the we're not evil ppl.
