    Hi, I’m new to WordPress as of today, and I’ve been tinkering around and building my WordPress template to match my website.

    Really stupid question: I can’t figure out how to indent the blog section (the blog entries as well as the link and search bar) to the right to line up with the background. I also want to be able to do this without shifting my header any.

    I’ve looked this up and played with the style.css for hours.

    The website is: http://jasonungate.com/blog/

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    EDIT: Also, other question, if I want to put it links to other parts of my website, which CSS file do I do that under, and which section and what kind of code? Thanks!

    to move the content and sidebar over to the right, you could change these styles in style.css:

    .narrowcolumn {
	float: left;
	padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
	/*margin is the up and down placement of blog text */
	margin: 0px 0 0 180px; /*180px added as left margin*/
	width: 450px;
	}
    #sidebar
{
	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
	margin-left: 725px; /was 545px - increased by 180px */
	width: 190px;
	}

    links could be either added to the html/php files; or to the ‘links’ in admin; depending on where you want to show them.

    I like your header, Jason. Now get some content on there!
    Alchymyth’s answer solved my own question–or helped me solve my own. I wanted to indent the content of one particular post more than the others, so I just copied the padding code between divs in the post itself. Love it! See the post
