 * I was just curious if anyone would care to help me out with a sidebar problem
   I’m having.
 * My site is [http://www.tellmealie.com/x/](http://www.tellmealie.com/x/)
 * This was a CSS/XHTML template that I was practicing porting on. I got it working
   to an extent but the sidebar I cant get to go to the right. below is the css 
   which is where I believe the problem lies. Let me know!
 * `/* CSS Document */
    body {margin:0; background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); font-
   family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#333333;} #page {background-
   color:#FFFFFF; width:600px; border-top: 8px #FF9900 solid; border-bottom: 3px#
   FF9900 solid; margin: 0 auto; display:table; padding-bottom:5px;} #pageside {

 * I found a little bit out about the problem but the problem is I cant get them
   to align next to one another ive been able to switch which one is in the correct
   location. It seems like a size problem but I dont see that in the css.
 * `<div id="page">
    <?php get_header(); ?> <img src="/images/head2.jpg" /> <div
   id="body"> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <div id="post"> <?php if (have_posts()) : 
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>  <?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?></
   div>
 * <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink()?
   >" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <div class="meta"><?php _e("
   Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php
   the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?>
 *  <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
 *  <div id="feedback">
    <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(__('
   Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?> <div id="ender"><?
   php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?> <?php endwhile; else:?
   ></div> <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p> <div id
   ="ender"><?php endif; ?></div> <div id="ender"><?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&
   laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></div> </P> </div> <?php 
   get_footer(); ?> </div>

 * to start with, you have no Doctype and errors within your page…fix those first
   and see where you go:
