 * Thanks Yogi, I figured it was something like that but wasn’t sure which particular
   parameter needed to change.
 * I have played around with various parameters in the style.php and now have the
   side bar displayed alongside the featured articles and the slide show itself 
   full width.
 * I don’t seem to be able to give the sidebar a background with out messing it 
   up on the other pages.
 * I can give it a plain grey background, which will colour it on the blog page 
   but I can’t get the feature background and the blog background to meet. If I 
   make column-content any wider then the side bar moves below.
 * Likewise if I make the side bar width larger, then the sidebar moves to the bottom
   on the blog and other pages.
 * Any further suggestions?

 * It seems that I did get the side bar to appear by adding that line to the tpl_blog.
   php file.
 * It appears at the bottom of the page below the standard blog bits. Now I just
   have to make it appear on the right. I am hoping this is just a matter of make
   the elements of the blog narrow enough for it to fit.

 * Thursy
 * You say you removed code from the main index template- What is the file name 
   and what folder is it in.
 * I’ve tried searching for “latest-posts” in my public_html files and can’t find
   it.

 * I actually made my page width bigger using the following method.
 * I edited the images in the wp-Creativix/images directory and made them all 100
   pixels wider.
 * These are the png files center-column,sub-top etc.
 * Copy the images folder to your PC, then create wide version of these files in
   a separate directory. You will have to copy them back after a them update.
 * You also need to edit style.php in the wp-Creativix directory.
 * Again I saved this in anotehr directory to copy back after an update.
 * The changes are mostly adding 100 to the width parameter for different components.
   There are quite a lot of them.
 * eg change
 * #wrapper {
    width:925px; margin:0 auto; }
 * to
 * #wrapper {
    width:1025px; margin:0 auto; }
 * I can send you the files if you like.

 * Hi Eran
 * I didn’t find that bit of info but thanks for pointing it out.
 * It seems that those plugins must be changing some field in the user table. I 
   have used other plug ins where there is a setting that says something like
 * Minimum role level to …. with a drop down.
 * Is it possible to add some thing like that to AEC. This seems to have been the
   biggest stumbling block to getting started.
 * I have one other issue which I have posted separately but I’ll repeat hear since
   you hopefully will see this reply:
 * In the front end the width of the Sunday column is smaller than the others. mensa.
   org.au/calendar
 * It was even smaller before I managed to widen the whole page by 100 pixels.
 * Great plug in all the same.

 * I eventually worked out, like others before me that you need to install another
   plugin.
 * However many threads just stop there and don’t really explain for the next one
   what to do. Do here’s what I did, after a lot of false starts.
 * Download, install and activate the User Role Editor
 * [http://shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/](http://shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/)
 * This adds an extra item under the USERS tab in Dash Board.
 * When you run that option you can select a role (in my case Editor) or create 
   a new one.
 * This gives you 2 sets of check boxes, Core Capabilities and Custom Capabilities.
 * The Calendar ones are in the custom list and start with “aec_”
 * Check aec_addevents to allow a role to add vents and edit their own events but
   not otners.
 * Check aec_manageevents to allow a role to edit events added by others.

 * It seems that I can create a login for a user with role of calendar contributor,
   but this role does not have the normal editor privileges.
 * How can I add calendar privileges to an editor or create a role that combines
   the 2.
