 * Hello, pretty new to wordpress and first post here. Did some digging and found
   some good tips on modifying the Classic theme. Between [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/index.php](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/index.php)
   and the Edit CSS plugin for Firefox, I’ve come a long way ina short time.
 * I’m trying to get a specific layout going with the classic theme… basic 2 column
   layout… essentially like it is now except fixed width (800px) and centered. I’ve
   figured out that adding:
 * #rap {
    margin: 0 auto; border: solid 2px black; width: 800px; background-color:
   white; text-align: left; }
 * will let me center the whole thing on the page but the sidebar aka “menu”, I 
   can’t seem to get to stick to the right hand side of the centered page. I’ve 
   tried a couple different things and can seem to get it to do just about everything
   except what I want.
 * I’m hoping some CSS gurus might have some pointers for me :)… please.

 * Just a little update… I can get the sidebar “stuck” to the right hand side of
   my centered, 800px wide page. One way using relative positioning and the other
   using float but, in both cases the sidebar sits very low on the page and does
   not align to the top.
 * Here are the lines with the relative postioning commented out:
 * #menu {
    float: right; background: white; border: solid 2px black; padding: 20px
   0 10px 30px; /*position: relative; left: 620px; top: 0px;*/ width: 11em; }

 * I haven’t tried that theme for a while, but one thing to try is to add
 * `float: left;`
 * To the CSS for the left hand div “content” (I think).
