 * Hey guys,
 * learning a lot of css, but having a few issues. I can’t figure this out:
 * on blogeditor.net — The left sidebar box, why is there a small space between 
   the curved top border and the side lines…. Any thoughts… esmc? Your my man!…
 * Thanks all!
 * Sam

 * Try editing the custom stylesheet and remove the left & right padding on .samscontentholder:
 *     ```
       .samscontentholder {
       background:url(images/blog_top.jpg) no-repeat 100% 0;
       margin-right:2em;
       margin-top:2em;
       padding-left:3em;
       padding-right:6em;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       .samscontentholder {
       background:url(images/blog_top.jpg) no-repeat 100% 0;
       margin-right:2em;
       margin-top:2em;
       }
       ```

 * Weird. It worked for me in Firebug. You’ve got a call to blog_left.jpg in .samscontentholder.
   sideleft at the moment but image path is wrong. It should be `images/blog_left.
   jpg`.
 *     ```
       .samscontentholder .sideleft {
       background:url(images/blog_left.jpg) repeat-y left 5em;
       left:1.4em;
       margin-top:2em;
       position:relative;
       top:0.3em;
       }
       ```
   
 * You could adjust the image url in .samscontentholder .sideright to match whilst
   you’re in there.

 * ESMI – I resolved it. Actually feels good to figure something like this out seeing
   as I didn’t know CSS before I started…..
 * In any case…. solution was changing the html to use a background: as opposed 
   to an img. I needed to change the height of the element too.
 * Code was….
 * echo ‘<div style=”height:24px; background:url(/wp-content/themes/thesis/custom/
   images/blogside_top.jpg);”> </div>’ ;}
 * BTW – how do all of the borders around the elements line up for you?

 * Looking good in FF3.5/WinXP. Slight issue with Sidebar 2. The background light
   grey is visible on the far right of the sidebar top and right edge. At the foot
   of the page, the Previous/Next links are escaping out of the white content area.
 * IE8, unfortunately, is having problems with pretty much all of the images except
   the border images. 🙁 Could that be the image urls again?
