jrav001, thank you so much!

Thank you for the link esmi, but I’m sorry, all those lessons are way beyond my understanding. I’ll try to read them a few times, but I am not coding inclined! I have a hard time following simple instructions like replace this text in this file with this text, let alone having to figure out what goes where. I’ll give it a go, but I’m afraid I’ll scramble the whole thing.

Hi esmi, if you look at the home button or whatever page you are on, you will see a little white area. That’s because initially, the whole navigtion bar was floating higher than the rest of the page. There was some white space between them. How do I nudge the navigation bar a few pixels higher?
Thank you
Elizabeth

Hi Lindsay, first of all, thank you for the help.

I’m afraid I need some clarifying though. I did the first part of what you told me and it looked scambled.

change this :
#logo {
display:inline;
float:left;
margin:26px 0 0 5px;
}

To this:
#logo {
margin:26px 0 0 5px;
text-align:center;
}

The Logo was centered above the navigation bar (I would like it on the left side) and the navigation bar was overlapping the top of the black frame of the page. I pasted the original back and now the logo is where I would like it to be but the navigation bar is still ovelapping the top of the page.

I did this in style.css. Am I in the right place?

Thank you

Thank you for replying. I see now that it slid down, but it doesn’t fit under the name. If I slide it more, it overlaps the rest of the site. How do I slide everything down?

1) How do I check if the side bar is widget ready?

2) There is a template for the right sidebar, but not for the left one.
There are page templates with options for no comments, no date etc, but not for the main page- I have the other pages set without anything in the left side bar and I want to be able to remove the info in the left side bar from the first page and replace it with the badges. Where would I find the code?

3)I edited style.css from
#header_menu { float:right; display:inline; margin:20px 0 0 0; height:52px; background:url(img/header_menu_right.gif) no-repeat right top; }

to
#header_menu { float:right; display:inline; margin:30px 0 0 0; height:52px; background:url(img/header_menu_right.gif) no-repeat right top; }

and updated and absolutely nothing happened! What did I do wrong? Do I need to edit this in other files too?

If I slide the whole navigation bar under the name of the website, I’m hoping to fit a Links page and a Tutorials page- those should fit.

Thank you esmi, I now have the permalinks set to show the date and post name and they work. How do I set it to show only the post name?
