   Hi,

   I am having trouble with my template. The right side of the template with the links etc slips down to the bottom when viewed in Windows. Maybe it's because a few pictures are too wide, but I reduced their size to within the limits.

   My site is at: http://homebusinesscreative.com

   I'm using WordPress 2.0.2

   The coder I used said the content column width was 560 pixels, so I needed to upload pictures of width of maxim. 555 pixels. I believe I have done that, so I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?

   Any ideas as to what steps I need to take to rectify this?

   With thanks,

   Martin H

   He's not taking into account the padding on the left and right of the content, so Your max width on images should be no more than 530px to be safe.

   Thanks so much for that. I have just tried roughly 500px width on all the big pics and am still getting the same problem.

   Any suggestions, or can you see something that I can't?

   Thanks again,

   You put your ads in the content div. That's forcing the width to blow out. Add overflow:hidden; to your #content and you'll see what I mean.

   Hi, thanks...

   Can you tell me where I can find the #content? I'm not sure where to look exactly. Do you mean in the theme editor in the 'sidebar' for example?

   Great...

   I did this:

   #content{
   color: #3D3D3D;
   float: left;
   line-height: 130%;
   margin: 0px;
   overflow:hidden;
   padding: 10px 11px 10px 11px;
   text-align: justify;
   width: 560px;

   Does it look like it works ok to you? If not please let me know... Thanks.

   No. Now your ads are borked.

   Take them out of the content div, you cannot have an element wider then your content div INSIDE the content div and not have feces occur.

   Read my post, adding overflow:hidden was ONLY to show you where the problem was, it is not a solution.

   Ok... can't find my ads in the content div. How do I "take my ads out of the content div?" What do I need to do exactly? I'm not a programmer, please give me simple instructions as to how to resolve this, thanks.
