 * I just noticed that on my main page the left sidebar is at the very bottom of
   the page instead over to the left and the background isn’t loading for some reason.
   The layout is fine for the other pages though. I haven’t edited anypart of my
   theme because I’m told I can’t edit when I go to my admin panel
 * Any help will be greatful

 * it looks like you’ve got a column width set incorrectly in your css file somewhere,
   you’ll need access to edit the css file for your theme, check all of the column
   width settings, since you’re using a fixed width design, you’ll find that one
   of the columns is too wide which is what’s causing your problem.

 * yeah but how could it change without me editing it . I haven’t edited any theme
   files in four days and I just noticed this problem earlier tonight .
 * How can I get access to the css file when i try through the admin panel I get
   teh message cannot edit because the file isn’t writable.

 * I thought it was a plugin I was using so I got rid of it but the problem still
   exists. I’ve checked my css file and I don’t see any problems . I’m at my wits
   end with this about to pull my hair out 😉

 * If you didnt edit your template files… then everything has to do with the almost
   100 errors in your posts

   I couldn’t take a closer look at your source code because your main page is very
   un-friendly long…)
