    Hello

    Can anybody explain how to move the sidebars on my blog. As you will see at the moment both sidebars are on the right with the articles on the left. I would like the small sidebar on the left so the articles are displayed in the middle. I have seen this on other blogs that have the same template but can't figure out how to do it :confused:

    Will give rep to anybody that can help.

    Many Thanks

    On your admin panel do the following:
    - Go to presentation,
    - Go to theme editor (located on the submenu),
    - Choose the stylesheet (located below the theme name on the right side of the page),
    - Copy the textarea content & save it on your hard drive (so you can restaure it if any error happens)

    Editing style.css
    Find (at around line 70 if you didn't modify the file before
    #content {
            width: 490px;
            float: left;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
    	}
    
    #midcontent {
    	font-size: 8pt;
            width: 170px;
            float: right;
            margin: 0;
    	padding: 0 0 5px;
            border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
            }
    HTML:
    replace left with right.
    replace right with left.

    Let me know if you need help.
