Cool. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

I think I figured it out. According to SEOMoz, 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

Great! Thanks for replying. I appreciate the help.

Cool. Thanks.

Same thing happening to me. Forget the /wp-admin/install at the end of the url and just go to yourdomain.tld and it will already be installed for you. You still have to set it up.

I’m about to ask a question about this, so if anyone knows anything about this, please respond.

The thing is, I just signed up for the baby plan. 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.

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? I’m not opposed to opening new windows when a link takes me somewhere outside of the site, but within the site? It’s a little annoying.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

I am trying to add some padding to images…thanks for the tip on how to do it.

As for the Red “R” in the logo…it’s really just a design thing, I think of it as going with the whole angry thing.

RoseCitySister…Yes, please come back. And, tell your friends. I want to build a community for everybody in the industry.

As for content…There are lots of sites and blogs that are great for venting and bitching…I want to do something different. I want to talk about interesting people who work in the industry. Musicians, artists, actors, photographers etc. I also want to discuss issues that are important to them. Any input is welcome.

Thanks again

Sorry…as a writer I just couldn’t let this go and it’s too late to edit…should have been “add something”

I fixed it!

First, thanks to you who offered assistance.

For those of you who read this in the future and run into problems with “Sidebar Down in IE,” I have a couple of tips.

The most common problem is something too wide in your sidebar. 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.

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.

thanks..I’ll try it

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; */

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

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.
