 * Even though the coding is not in a perfect way I think, add the following to 
   your **style.css** (or amend it to **line 184** of the **style.css**)
 *     ```
       ul{
         padding:0;
         }
       ```

 * It is because of your html coding is improper!
    You have put:
 *     ```
       #container {
           margin: -425px 0 0 0;
           padding: 20px 0 10px;
           position: relative;
           top: 0;
       }
       #sidebar {
           margin-left: 950px;
           padding: 40px 0 0 0;
           position: relative;
           text-align: center !important;
           top: -10px;
           width: 200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * change these as follows:
 *     ```
       #container {
           float: left;
           padding: 20px 0 10px;
           position: relative;
           top: 0;
           width: 940px;
       }
       #sidebar {
           float: right;
           padding: 40px 0 0 0;
           position: relative;
           text-align: center !important;
           top: -10px;
           width: 200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * **Please make a backup of `style.css` before you proceed.**
    Also put a `<div
   id="main_container">` before the `<div id="sidebar">` and close it after `<div
   id="container">`. Then add below to the css:
 *     ```
       #main_container {
           width:1140px;
           margin:0 auto;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks, this is my first website i’ve built so still learning,
 * when you say, “Also put a <div id=”main_container”> before the <div id=”sidebar”
   > and close it after <div id=”container”>.”
 * How do i end the div and is this in the main index template?
 * thankyou!

 * Yes. Most probably the `<div>` container ends in the same template such as `index.
   php` and `page.php` etc.
