    How familiar are you with CSS?

    well not a pro, but can play around with an already writen code.

    It looks like you already have a sidebar on that side? In general, for something like this, you’d generally create a custom template:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar

    Then modify the php code to add the sidebar and change the CSS code to fit the new elements on the page.

    But as you are using a commercial theme, for more specific help, you will likely need to ask the developer for help – as those are not supported here.

    I have a sidebar on the RIGHT, I wanna add on on the left , right where the float social plugin is. but firstly I need to move the whole page to the right a little, so I can add some space on the left for the sidebar.

    So the above is what you would need to do – it’s not a question of moving the site to the right. It’s about creating a custom template with a layout that fits the left sidebar into the page.

    That said, the centering and the width are set here:

    #wrapper {
        background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
        margin: 0 auto 15px;
        padding: 10px 15px 0;
        width: 950px;
    }

    But to add a sidebar, you’d need to change the width of many elements on the page…or make the custom page wider in the above CSS.

    I found a tutorial which explains on how to add the sidebar, I just needed the space there first. I guess it’s not that hard, as I’ll only use the sidebar as an AD space.

    Tried to change those values, but the site doesn’t seem to be affected. Could please give me an idea on what to change please?

    ok, sorry for the treble-post lol.
    To be more precise here is a picture of what I actualy want. I wanna be able to add something like this little window in my site (bigger one so it can fit my ads), but not FLOAT as you scroll down the content, I want it static, and bigger (160×600) so I can add an AD there. Would that be possible? how hard can it be?

    Yes, you would need to create a custom template as already mentioned – unless you know some HTML and CSS, it won’t be that easy, no.

    To repeat:
    But as you are using a commercial theme, for more specific help, you will likely need to ask the developer for help – as those are not supported here:

    Or you could consider hiring someone: http://jobs.wordpress.net/

    Or find a theme that is supported here – any of these are:
