I’m having the same issue – I think.

If you got to my site https://www.plumbizness.com, you’ll see that there’s too much space at the top of both of my sidebars. It seems like the css adds too much space at the top of each widget (above “pages” and “useful stuff” on my site’s sidebars.

Is there any way of making add the space at the bottom of the each widget’s list, instead of at the top of each widget’s title?

I’ve been trying to put code in all the places that make sense to me for about half a day, but being the code novice, I couldn’t make it work.

Any takers?

thanks

OK, thanks for the help, but I think I’ve decided not to use a background image after all.

I think that’s the problem sometimes you want to try something just to see if it will look right, and you can’t know until you’ve tried it.

But thanks again – I think this will be useful for others who have the background text issue.

Also wondering – I’m happy to do as much tweaking as it takes to get it to look right, but at what point do you give up and look for a better template?!?

It was the best one I could find, but I think I’m seeing why most of it was white. LOL

AH! Badabing!

You’re a complete star. ??

Take a look – that’s much more what I want. The only thing I can’t work out is why the headers in the sidebars have that space above them – it looks a little weird.

Also wondering if I add a little padding at the top and the right hand side of the text blocks, will I create more problems for myself (*cough* IE6 *cough*)?

I’ve been trying to put background color code in the right place for the past half hour, so you may have caught it in one of those moments.

But it still doesn’t look right.

I’ve put it back to how it was. You can read the text, but it’s hard because of the background image. So what I would like is some white behind the text, headers, and sidebars, to block out the background image just in the places where there is text.

Hello people!

Well, I’ve solved most things on my own so far with the help from this excellent forum, but this issue finally made me register so I could post something! ??

Yep, I’ve got the same problem, as ‘Anonymous’, and chaoskaizer’s code didn’t work for me.

Here’s my website:

As you can see, the text is unreadable. I’d like some white blocks just behind the text blocks and sidebars only, so that I can retain the main background image overall.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you ??
