 * Hiya gang,
 * I’m very new to WordPress & PHP, and am having a little trouble setting up extra
   pages on my site.
 * Specifically, my extra pages don’t seem to be aligning properly – the main text
   is dribbling off into the space that should be occupied by the sidebar, and the
   sidebar is placing itself at the bottom of the main column – not along the side.
   To be specific: [http://droopheadedflowers.zapto.org/index.php/?page_id=8](http://droopheadedflowers.zapto.org/index.php/?page_id=8)
   
   where it should be like: [http://droopheadedflowers.zapto.org/index.php/?page_id=3](http://droopheadedflowers.zapto.org/index.php/?page_id=3)
 * (I have no idea why the ‘about me’ page works, but no others do. I assume ‘About
   Me’ is an auto-generated default page…as far as I remember???)
 * Any suggestions most appreciated!
 * Thanks in advance,
    JB

 * `<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">`
    Where’s that div above coming from?
   It doesn’t belong there, I suppose.

 * Hmmm….It only occurrs with the template I happen to be using (Minima Plus), all
   other templates bring up the page fine.
 * I tried deleting the suggested code above, which partially helped – but not entirely.
   The main column no longer wraps along onto the sidebar, but the sidebar content
   still comes up in the main column, underneath the main contents.
 *  I tried copying the page.php file from the default template across, but that
   didn’t change anything. Then I just deleted the page.php file entirely from the
   minima plus directory. I get the column rows back, but of course I no longer 
   have the page template.
 * …hmmm…perplexing….

 * Hmmmm…I’ve found a solution, albeit a very strange one. It involves closing 2
   </div> tags that don’t have corresponding <divs> in the first place. Odd….
 * I went to page.php in the minimaplus template directory.
 * Line 3: I cut the line <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
    But *did not*
   delete the corresponding </div> tag – instead, I added another </div> close tag
   on the fourth line from bottom – just below <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’,”,”);?
   >
 * That makes two </div> tags that don’t have corresponding divs…but the page works.
   If you take out either of the two </div> tags at the bottom the alignment problem
   resurfaces again.
 * An odd solution, but I guess if it works…..hmm…
 * Lots and lotsa thanks for pointing out the narrowcolumn tag, by the way – most
   appreciated and most helpful!

 * This is an old post, but I’ve just been looking at minimaplus to use, and in 
   the header.php file, it seems to have 3 open <div> ??
