    Ok, long day:eek:

    I made a post to my blog today, www.acookingsite.com.

    Check out the sight and you'll see that the text and title of the post are being spaced by the sidebar:confused: I deleted the post I made and have tinkered with an hour or so but have not been able to get it back to "normal".

    "Normal" looks like this: http://www.blogger.com/templates/101/sample.html

    Any ideas?

    Here's the template code:

    <html><head><title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>
    
    <style>
    
    body{margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font-family:arial, helvetica;background-color:#C3CFE5}
    #main{margin:20px;border:1px solid #000;background-color:#fff;padding:0px 0px 15px 15px}
    #Title{font-size:43px;padding-left:0px;padding-top:10px;text-transform:none}
    #Title a {text-decoration:inherit;color:inherit;}
    #Description{padding:0px;padding-top:10px;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal}
    .DateHeader{border-bottom:solid 1px #C3CFE5;font-size:18px;text-align:left;margin-top:30px;width:300px;margin-bottom:0px;color:gray;font-weight:bold}
    .PostTitle{font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;font-family:arial, helvetica;}
    .Post{margin-bottom:20px;font-size:15px;padding-right:15px;line-height:22px;font-family:arial, helvetica;color:black;}
    .PostFooter{margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;color:gray;font-size:10px}
    #menu{border-left:1px solid #000;border-bottom:1px solid #000;float:right;padding:10px;width:160px;margin:0px 0px 10px 10px;background-color:#eee}
    p{margin:0px 10px 10px 10px}
    #SideBar{font-size:12px;margin-top:15px}
    a{text-decoration:none}
    a:hover{background-color:#C3CFE5}
    .blogComments{font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;font-family:arial, helvetica;}
    .blogComment{margin-bottom:20px;font-size:15px;font-weight:normal;padding-right:15px;line-height:22px;font-family:arial, helvetica;color:black;}
    .deleted-comment {font-style:italic;color:gray;}
    .byline{margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:10px;color:gray;font-size:10px;display:inline;}

    .profile-img img {float:left;margin:0 10px 5px 0;}
    .profile-data strong {display:block;}
    .profile-textblock {margin-left:0px;}
    .profile-link {margin-left:0px;}
    h2.sidebar-title {font-size:inherit;}
    </style>
