• Resolved ampersand

    (@ampersand)


    While editing my stylesheet, I did something to mess up my sidebar, and now I can’t figure out how to fix it.

    My blog is at http://www.amptoons.com/blog .

    Thanks very much for any help. I’ve pasted what I think is the relevant part of the stylesheet at the bottom of this post.

    /* Begin Structure */
    body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    background-color: #FFF8DC;
    }

    #page {
    background-color: #FFF8DC;
    margin: 20px auto;
    padding: 0;
    width: 860px;
    border: 1px solid #959596;
    }

    #header {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0 auto;

    height: 200px;
    width: 100%;

    background-color: #FFF8DC;
    }

    #headerimg {
    margin: 0;
    height: 200px;
    width: 100%;
    }

    .narrowcolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 0 20px 40px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 555px;
    }

    .widecolumn {
    padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
    margin: 5px 0 0 50px;
    width: 450px;
    }

    .post {
    margin: 0 0 40px;
    text-align: left;
    }

    .widecolumn .post {
    margin: 0;
    }

    .narrowcolumn .postmetadata {
    padding-top: 5px;
    }

    .widecolumn .postmetadata {
    margin: 30px 0;
    }

    #footer {
    padding: 0 0 0 1px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 860px;
    clear: both;
    }

    #footer p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 20px 0;
    text-align: center;
    }
    /* End Structure */

    Found the problem – I was looking at the wrong area of the stylesheet.

    In case anyone ever has the same problem and finds this thread by searching, here are what were the needed, correct settings for my blog:


    /* Begin Sidebar */
    #sidebar
    {
    padding: 20px 0 10px 20px;
    margin-left: 630px;
    width: 180px;
    }

    #sidebar form {
    margin: 0;
    }
    /* End Sidebar */

    Thanks for the follow-up…

    One more followup, just to help anyone searching for this problem in a year or so – I’m using a modified version of the “Kubrick” theme, which is the default theme for 2.x.
