According to [SEOMoz](http://http://www.seomoz.org/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success), the user name is supposed to be in the URL. My “Nickname” is on the page title, but my user name is in the url, so I’m just going to choose a different user name, one I don’t mind being in the url. * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Which Contact Form Is Best](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-contact-form-is-best/) * Thread Starter [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-contact-form-is-best/#post-3201359) * Great!

My concern is that with my professional site as the main domain and the affiliate sites as add-ons, anyone with a little know-how will be able to see that my professional site is related to my affiliate sites. * I’m wondering if switching to a reseller plan or having separate plans might be better. My concern is this: I really don’t want people who use me professionally to be able to find out I also run an affiliate on say, baby clothes. I’m also concerned with ease of use. All those add-ons seem as if they’d be hard to manage. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [New photography website built on WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-photography-website-built-on-wordpress/) * [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-photography-website-built-on-wordpress/#post-748708) * First, Pick another subject for the front page…unless you want to give the impression you only take pictures of salesmen. * Second…why, when I click on a gallery, say people, does it open a new window in my browser?

For instance, if your sidebar is 200px and you try and ad something that’s 250px…sidebar down. * My problem came about when I tried to change the dimensions of my 3-column theme. * The original theme had a right and left sidebar that were each 200px wide and a content area that was 510px wide. That’s 910px of usable space total with 40px( 950px header)left over for margins and padding. * The left sidebar and the content area are in one container (originally 730px) and the right sidebar is in another container (originally 220px). * I needed to make the left sidebar 300px. To do this I had to increase #left to 320px and decrease #right to 630px. * The math should have been right (and it is) but still my left sidebar was being pushed below the content. * So, here’s what you do if you run into a sidebar down issue: Using Firefox, download the Firefox web developers toolbar. Once it’s installed, click the button that says “Information.” You’ll see a lot of options. Click on “Display Block Size” or “Display Topographic Information.” * This will give a nice outline of all the blocks on your theme. Is one spilling over into another? * In my case it was the .navigation. I hadn’t changed that number to match the new size of my left sidebar/content area container. I changed that and everything works great in practically all browsers including IE6 and 5.5. * For those more experienced than I, I’m sure you could care less. But, for those on my level – and by the number of sidebar down posts, there’s obviously a lot– I hope this helps. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Need CSS Help – Resizing sidebars and text area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/) * Thread Starter [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/#post-712281) * OK…so I have tried everything and I’ve read about a 1000 forum posts. * I’ve changed every variable on my style sheet at least once, but still no luck. * I think what’s going on is this: I have two containers within the page. The left container includes the left sidebar and content area. The right container includes the right sidebar. * It seems that when IE 6 is not adhering to the **ALIGN RIGHT** command in the content area. * Any ideas how to fix this? * Oh, and I took everything but standard widgets out of sidebars. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Need CSS Help – Resizing sidebars and text area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/) * Thread Starter [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/#post-712234) * thanks..I’ll try it * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Need CSS Help – Resizing sidebars and text area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/) * Thread Starter [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/#post-712197) * Let me ask you this…When I resize all three columns, the left sidebar and the middle content column (they move together) both move left widening the gap between the right sidebar and the content column (only in IE). * In other words, the space between the right sidebar and the content increases. I’m thinking this is the problem. How do I stop that from happening? * Here’s the code I’ve been messing with if anybody has any ideas: * ``` #left { float: left; width: 630px; } #right { float: right; width: 320px; } #content { width: 450px; float: right; } .post { margin-bottom: 10px; } .entry { margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left; } .entry a { color: #DC143C; } .side1 { width: 160px; float: left; color: #000; } .side2 { width: 300px; float: right; color: #000; } .gap { /* padding: 10px; */ ``` * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Need CSS Help – Resizing sidebars and text area](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/) * Thread Starter [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-css-help-resizing-sidebars-and-text-area/#post-712172) * Yeah, It’s not one that can be resized. Until a few days ago, I had one that was 250px wide and was able to adjust the wp theme to make it work. But, they changed the size to 300px and don’t offer any others anymore. * I emailed their tech and he said it couldn’t be changed. * I think I have to make my right sidebar 200px, left sidebar 300 px which leaves 450px for the middle content column and padding. * I made adjustments, but in IE 5.5 and IE 6, the right sidebar still ends up at the bottom of page. * Yours is a good idea, though…it was the first one I tried * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to Access “Adminstration Panel” Using Blue Host](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-access-adminstration-panel-using-blue-host/) * [ChgoWriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chgowriter/) * (@chgowriter) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-access-adminstration-panel-using-blue-host/#post-707239) * Great! Now the way things work here is that once you’ve “resolved” the issue that you asked about…you go back up to the top of your post and where it says“ This issue is:” followed by a scroll down box that says “not resolved,” you scroll down on that and mark this post as “resolved” and then click “change.” * That way others won’t keep reading it.
