Edit TwentyTen Blog Page

How can I shift the sidebar up so that it is at the top of its column?’

The reason your sidebars dropped to bottom is that you made the container to wide narrow it.

#container {
margin:0 auto;
width:900px;

I want to put a sentence at the top

where about you want sentence

1. Making the width smaller worked, however it changed it for all pages. I want the width for all pages to by 900px wide (centered on the page), however only the blog to be narrower (so that the sidebar shows).

2. I want it to be at the top of the blog page (as if it were a sticky, about that position). So about where the first post would be, however I don’t want it to be in the post format.

Use the template without sidebars for those pages there three templates in page attributes.

Where are you finding the three templates?

I do not need to modify the normal page template, just the blog one.

Re: putting the sentence on the blog page, look at index.php. Anything you put between
<div id="content" role="main">
and

<?php
/* Run the loop to output the posts.

Will show up before the posts but after the header. But formatted like your regular blog content.

Nice! It worked! Thanks!

For my other questions,

2. How can I increase the margins / edit the side bar?
3. How can I shift the sidebar up so that it is at the top of its column?

Looking at what govpatel said, where are the three templates?

I do not need to modify the normal page template, just the blog one.

Thanks!

Click on pages and click on edit of the page you want to change

on right there is Page Attribute box
you must have default now click on drop down arrow and you will see the other 2 templates.

As you only have Page Attribute for pages
Instead of changing the code in style.css just use the templates without side bars for all other pages and your blog page will have the sidebar.

Hii, coud you send me instalation video becouse your description is a little bit complicated.

@julscha1 First you need to start your own thread as I am getting confused on what video you looking for.

I was helping @pimaniii with there problem.

1. How can I edit the side bar?
2. How can I shift the sidebar up so that it is at the top of its column?

I told you earlier to make your

#container {
margin:0 auto;
width:900px;

narrow that and you will see that your side bar come back to its normal place

This your blog page

now rest of pages edit them and use the the template without sidebar from page attribute

Ok, right now, all my pages are the one column-nosidebar.

How can I fix that? I tried making the blog page the default then changing that, but it still shifted other pages.

click on pages you will see the list pages click on edit
on right you should have box Page Attribute in that there
is Template and a drop down click it two more templates without side bars.

You need to edit all pages you do not want sidebars.

All of my pages are without sidebars, including the blog page.

including the blog page

that can not be right as you have side bars that you are trying to move up that container is to wide that is why it pushing your sidebars down.
