Need Help With A Few Things

    I just followed an awesome guide to creating WordPress themes (http://www.urbangiraffe.com/themes/guides) and I got some good stuff going, but I need a few pointers on finishing it off. I have three questions specifically. So you can see what I’m talking about rather than me explaining it well enough that you wouldn’t have to, the address of my messing around is http://ethanmeanor.com/journal/

    1. How can I put a long, narrow box around the post titles (about 55 pixels high and 400 or so long)?

    2. How can I make the box to post a new comment short enough that it doesn’t run off the side of the screen?

    3. And finally, the big one, how can I get a different sidebar on the right and left sides?

    All help is MUCH appreciated. Man. 4:55 AM. Good thing I don’t have anything to do tomorrow. ‘Night, all.

    2. open comments.php of your template and find:
    textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″

    change cols=”100%” to cols=”80%”

    3. Take a working stable (and simple) 3 column theme and modify it to your needs.

    It’s a bit late for that, isn’t it?

    Go to the page again and you’ll see how far I’ve gotten with the three columns. However, the right one is constantly below the left one (it’s on it’s side, but not parallel to the other sidebar). Here’s my index file, can you tell me where to position the code?

    —————
    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id=“wrapper�>

    <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <small><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <!– by <?php the_author() ?> –></small>

    <div class=”entry”>
    <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
    </div>

    <p class=”postmetadata”>Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,’|‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?>
    </div>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <div class=”navigation”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?></div>
    <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></div>
    </div>

    <?php else : ?>

    <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
    <p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <?php include “sidebar_right.php”; ?>

    </div>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>
