 * Nope it wasn’t resolved after all…
 * Obviously enough (after the event) since my left margin is from the browser window,
   when I resize the sidebar moves…….
 * However, adding pageWidth to sidebar.php resolved that (after adjusting the left
   margin for sidebar in style.css to reflect the fact that it is now taking the
   left margin from the pageWidth div)
 * (also added to archieve.php, 404.php, etc.)

 * Well I guess it’s resolved – I gave sidebar a larger left margin until it was
   back in the correct position.
 * Not really satisfied but hey-ho it’s working…
 * Can’t wait to have a peek in ie6&7………………

 * ok silly omission on my part…
 *     ```
       #page {
       	margin:  auto;
       	padding: 0;
       	text-align: left;
       	}
   
       #pageWidth {
       	margin:  auto;
       	width: 812px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Brings the content into the middle of the browser window. Now though sidebar 
   is sitting on top of narrowcolumn with its content pushed down. … (sorry if this
   counts as bumping the message, I’m working on the assumption that new info is
   being added)

 * Hello again,
 * What I am looking at at the mo. is the following…
 * In header.php I have addded a new class here…
 *     ```
       <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
   
       <div id="page">
   
       	<div id="pageWidth">
       ```
   
 * and style.css now has…
 *     ```
       #page {
       	margin:  auto;
       	padding: 0;
       	text-align: left;
       	}
   
       #pageWidth {
       	width: 812px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Lastly in footer.php I have closed a div as so…
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
        */
       ?>
   
       <hr />
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Which I thought would be to close pageWidth and allow the footer to take the 
   width of the browser window.
 * The footer now has 100% width of the browser window… Unfortunately so does the
   content…. eh? Hang on…..
 * Tried to add the pageWidth div to page.php, index.php and single.php as follows…
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
        */
   
       get_header();
       ?>
   
       <div id="pageWidth">
   
       	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">
       ```
   
 * and closed the div above
 * `<?php get_sidebar(); ?>`
 * Same result 🙁
 * I’ll keep on going but if anybody know how to do this….
 * Thanks,
 * Jim.
