 * Hello:
 * I seem to be getting a large empty space in my left sidebar when I click into
   a post’s page (e.g. [http://bit.ly/1wwOcpd](http://bit.ly/1wwOcpd)). There is
   no space when visiting the homepage ([http://disneyexaminer.com](http://disneyexaminer.com))
   though.
 * Can someone please advise? Thanks in advance!

 * This is controlled by your theme. What theme are you using? Where did you download
   it from?

 * You are using two different CSS classes for these two pages. [http://bit.ly/1wwOcpd](http://bit.ly/1wwOcpd)
   is using
 *     ```
       .main.sidebar-left {
       background: url(img/sidebar-left.png) repeat-y left 0;
       padding-left: 340px;
       }
       ```
   
 * The main home page, [http://disneyexaminer.com/](http://disneyexaminer.com/) ,
   is using this
 *     ```
       .main.sidebar-left .sidebar {
       float: left;
       margin-left: -340px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You will notice on the home page the you are using **sidebar** and **sidebar-
   content** tags in your html/php and on the other page you are using the **main
   group sidebar-left** tag in your html/php.
 * You are going to have to make some coding changes in the template page that renders
   the code that builds the page with the large space to use the same tags as the
   home page.
 * I hope this helps.
 * Bob
