 * I’ve been working on this blog [fashionjunkiie.com](http://www.fashionjunkiie.com)
   and if you look on the right side of the ‘box’ where the content is, there is
   a tiny indentation where the header is. I cannot seem to find out anywhere how
   to fix it, it’s such a tiny thing it really shouldn’t be that hard.
 * Can anyone else see where the problem is? 🙂

 * This is not a “Very small CSS coding help”, because the parent theme’s CSS had
   been altered. The indentation problem is actually a layout issue, the width that
   is assgined, without consideration to the correct margin, to more elements than
   nesscessary, and duplicated 2 times both in edited parent theme and child theme.
 * To fix the issue, first backup the currently in use, parent and child theme, 
   then update ( upload the new fresh one ) the parent theme, now it’s 2010 v1.5.
   Then do it right this time, make changes in child theme only, assign the width
   to the element that needs to only, with the correct margin.

 * (this is on a side note)
 * The image used in the web should be **optimized for the web**. The DSC040131.
   jpg alone is 1.7M and w=3816px h=2656px. This is way too much, it slows your 
   site down, there are many images like this on the index page.
 * Your site will load a lot faster, and users will enjoy more, browse more, google
   search engine will value the site more, if you just optimize the image before
   upload to the web. It’s worth doing it, and it doesn’t take much to do, all images
   editing software can do this (even in batch).

 * Thanks again 🙂 I’ve let her know about her images
 * So I’ve done what you said and reset it all, but now I cannot get the sidebar
   to move towards the left, it’s stuck where it’s at or it goes beneath the content.
   The whole layout is set to 1069px and the container is at 100% so I don’t know
   why it thinks that it’s smaller than that.

 * Removing these 2 lines
 *     ```
       padding: 40px 10px 0 10px;
       margin-left: -40px;
       ```
   
 * from the `#main` will make the site looks right.
 * In fact, you can even delete the whole `#main` from your childtheme’s CSS, because
   what’s inside it is already there in the parent’s CSS.
 * The same goes to `#container` too, can be removed from child’s CSS.
