 * Hi
 * 1) You don’t have a width assigned to div class=”sidebar2″ – it should be 198px
 * 2) div contentLayout is closed before div sidebar2 starts. div sidebar2 should
   be within div contentLayout, rather than starting after it.
 * 3) see the page validator at
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.valdagri.net./](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.valdagri.net./)
   for a number of errors in your HTML. The most important ones are the mismatched
   tags, the errors at the bottom of the list

 * It doesn’t work… I’ve repaired some errors in the code but nothing…
 * It’s terrible…
 * “You don’t have a width assigned to div class=”sidebar2″ – it should be 198px”–
   the field is present inside the CSS module…
 * HEEELPPPP

 * I looked at your stylesheet. The reason the stylings for sidebar2 are not being
   applied to sidebar 2 is because they are assigned to
    `.contentLayout .sidebar2`
   that is the correct assignment – it means apply these stylings to a class sidebar2
   that is contained within a class contentLayout.
 * As I said before, sidebar2 is NOT contained with the class contentLayout – it
   comes after it.
 * This is because there is a `</div>` BEFORE `<div class="sidebar2">`
    that should
   be AFTER `<div class="sidebar2">`
 * When you move that closing div tag, sidebar2 will then be inside contentLayout
   and the sidebar2 CSS will be applied as intended.

 * Let me make this clearer:
 * This is because there is a </div> BEFORE <div class=”sidebar2″>
    that should 
   be AFTER <div class=”sidebar2″> HAS BEEN CLOSED with the ending `</div>` for 
   sidebar2

 * Hi,
    I’ve created a blog: [http://www.glammagrandma.com](http://www.glammagrandma.com)
   and when I added links to other sites on the sidebar, they all overlap each other.
   Can anyone help me fix this. I’m fairly new to all of this, but if the directions
   are VERY clear and step-by-step, I can usually apply it.
 * Thanks a ton,
    Kathleen
