    I took moshu’s suggestion and ran with it. I started from scratch yet again and after working hard all last night was able to transform the Fall-In-Love theme that I got from the codex here at www.ads-software.com and have the style and color scheme and layout I want.
    I was really happy and excited that I’d finally done something and it looked good (to me) and was getting ready to transfer my site to WordPress tonight after adding all the content.
    That’s when it hit me. I sent a link to a mate and he pulled it up in IE while I had always browsed it in Firefox. Well in Firefox it shows up exactly how I want it to but in IE the right menu/toolbar starts waaaaaaaayyyyy down the page.

    Please if anyone has a hack or quick fix it would be very greatly appreciated because I’d rather not have to start from scratch yet again as it’s very very time consuming.
    Thanks for the help.

    I’m getting there slowly, real slowly. I’m following a course online at w3schools.com
    I’m getting so close to what I want though and ready to upgrade my site to WordPress, but I’m not there yet.
    I can’t find in the CSS code anywhere where it makes my sidebars start below my content. If anyone has a couple of minutes and can help point a newbie in the right direction, what to look for, it would be much appreciated.
    I’m using the Firefox web developer toolbar and it’s a fantastic help in seeing my changes instantly before I make them.
    Thanks for your help!

    Ok, I’ve decided to dump that theme for another theme I think will fit the content of the website better. But of course it’s only a 1 column. Doing my typical trying to solve it attitude I thought maybe it’d be as simple as copying and pasting sidebar.php from the Identification Tags theme that has 2 columns. I’m stopping here before I mess up any more. I’m thinking that there’s references in the style sheet to things in the sidebar.php file that it’s not finding, because it’s not creating a right hand sidebar.
    What would I need to adjust in the style sheet to have it reference the 2 columned sidebar.php? Do I need to adjust/ add anything else to the style sheet to make it 2 columns? Did I just screw things up with this template and should reinstall the original file?
    All my troubles so far with WordPress has come with sidebars/columns for some reason. I appreciate any help or point in the right direction and thanks for your time.

    G’day Lorelle,
    and thanks for taking the time to help!
    I use Firefox as my browser, how would I get/use the Web Developer function?
    I messed around with it not knowing what I was doing, just changing #’s trying to get the thing to fit and go where it should. Would you reccomend I scrap it and start over by reinstalling the theme? And if I run into the same problem again just get help before I bork things up again, huh!
    Thanks!
