    This is my first foray into WP 1.5 themes, and CSS in particular, and I’m learning by modifying the Trident theme. I’ve somehow managed to get my link categories (in the left column) shifted either centered or right, and can’t get them back to left alignment. It appears to have affected the date line above each post as well.

    It’s probably a relatively simple fix, but for the life of me I can’t figure it out and I now have forehead imprints on the brick wall. Can someone please point me in the right direction? is this something I inadvertantly changed in the style.css (been in there a LOT lately), or something in sidebar.php (been in there quite a bit also). I know this sounds lame, but I’ve learned a lot. If anyone could provide me the location to get myself back to left-aligned link categories, I’d be eternally grateful.

    I don’t know if it’ll help, but you can see what I mean at my site:

    Thanks,

    I’m not blind but I can hardly see any of the text on the page, but from what I guess I’m looking at, go into your style.css and look under the menu for your #menu ul and #menu li selectors and adjust the margins or alignment to whatever you want.

    pretty close :0
    it’s because the links stuff spits out a <h2> tag… and in your style sheet it has a 30px leftmargin. Change it to zero (0).

    Root, my man!! Thanks a LOT for making Trident happen!!! I love the three column layout, and after much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair trying to do it from scratch or modify some other theme, Trident turned out to be exactly what I needed to start with and learn from!

    Big thanks Root, and big thanks to all you folks who really make WP what it is!! You all rock, and deserve HUGE thanks from all!!

    Peace,
    Kevin

    How about posting your modification to trident?
