    I have created a static page on my blog to display photos.

    I am using html code to insert the photos in specific positions (thumbnail size that links to original photo on another site.
    I will also be using text layers to position text below each image.

    When I delete the sidebar, which I don’t want the white space becomes very short and the images now display over the blog outer colours.

    How do I set a page length to a certain size for this page only?

    Thanks for your help

    You could do a custom template, then assign this page to use it. Put in a blank <div> with the same dimensions of the sidebar. I’m not sure that a page limit is what you really want — what if you have more images in the future? If this is what you want — just give the <div> of the content a css declaration of height:whatever

    Thanks for the help.

    The static page is just a photo gallery with no sidebars.

    I did try one crude method as I copied the formulae from the header an created a 20×20 white gif that I repeated for 1000px.
    Code:
    #fineartcontainer
    {
    position: relative;
    background: #fff url(images/wh1.gif) repeat-x bottom left;
    height: 1000px;
    width: 100%;
    }

    This is in the style sheet. I have a separate page template for the static page and I added this code
    <div id=”fineartcontainer”></div>

    After get_header

    This did work but I noticed that firefox 3 doesn’t show the permalinks and edit link but it shows up in IE 6.0 (work version)

    Please excuse my lack of knowledge as I am such a newbie with this stuff.

    Any other suggestions and if code would be great.

    Thanks

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to do, but in FF the images are in a div with absolute positioning 750px from the left, and they are totally off the background. It would be better to use a float or relative positioning for that container.
