Whitespace after header / Archives on post page

  • Hey everyone, I’m making a web site and I put a wordpress blog in. I’ve done some customizing to the installation to match the web site but I’m running in to a bit of a wall.

    1) I have a chunk of white space after the header

    2) I don’t have a sidebar on the blog post page (after you drill down from the home page by clicking on the blog title)

    3) Eliminating the top margin.

    Thanks for looking, I appreciate it!

  • I think you must have fixed the header; I don’t see any excessive white space.

    The reason you don’t have a sidebar on the post page is because it’s not included in single.php. Put <?php get_sidebar(); ?> before <?php get_footer(); ?> at the end of single.php. Also, look for <div id="content" class="widecolumn"> and change widecolumn to narrowcolumn, to leave room for a sidebar.

    To eliminate the top margin, put this in your stylesheet:

    body {
 margin-top: 0;
}

    I know you didn’t ask for critiques, but given your subject matter, I would have chosen something a little sexier than the default theme! ??

    LOL, thanks RoseCitySister, I’m just more trying to get it fit for now.

    Thanks for the info for getting the sidebar on the post page! It really clued me in to some insight. Taking on wordpress seems kind of daunting at first.

    It can be daunting, but if you have the slightest interest in web development, you’ll become addicted in no time! ??

    Well, I’d love to know how to get rid of the white space.

    On a related note, I’d love to be able to change the background of the two outer columns independent of the center column.
