OK, I figured it out–while fixing another issue, it came to me. YAY!!!
You need to add a “left:”
So it will have
position:absolute;
top:10px;
left:10px; (may have to adjust px to fit your design)
I also added a float:left that I had to remove, or it would break my template.
So in the original template, all you would add is the “left:”
Hope I save someone some pain ??
