 * I’m trying to add an image at the top of the left side menu, but when I do, all
   the content on the right side drops down to the bottom of the left side menu.
   I’ve been playing with it for hours, but can’t seem to fix it. My site is: [http://athomemom.net/wp/index.php.](http://athomemom.net/wp/index.php.)
   
   Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this!

 * No, the image shows up, but the content that was on the right side of the page
   shifts over to the bottom of the left side.

 * Ok. You have added a div container for the image. Not strictly necessary it could
   go straight into #menu. But here is the thing. The 4px padding at left IMHO is
   enough to cause the effect you describe. This is due to the inconsistent implementation
   of the W3C Box Model. I would scrap the div, put the image straight in the relevant
   menu before the ul and trim it down a few px. Just my 2c. HTH.

 * I’m sorry if I sound dense, but I’m a CSS noob…
    I tried doing as you suggested,
   cutting and pasting the #container-left section to the menu section. I renamed#
   container-left, #menu container and cut the left px to 0. Now the image isn’t
   showing up at all. I also deleted the div container reference in the index.php.
   I know I probably botched something up in that, but I haven’t got a clue as to
   what. Thanks for the help!

 * I couldn’t see the img in your index php at all. All you need do is right after
   div #menu gets started is put in `'<img src etc >'` in the usual way. Nothing
   fancy needed – not yet 🙂
