# Blog text position?

 * 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/](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 [http://www.theamazingagingmind.com/2010/life-is-but-a-dream/](http://www.theamazingagingmind.com/2010/life-is-but-a-dream/)
