http://www.conspiraciesforums.com/ There is my new blog. As you see, the sidebar menu is on top covering part of the text. I would like the sidebar menu to be down below the greenish top part with the logo and welcome text, so that it is placed next to the Adsense ad and blog posts. Anyone know how I can do that, what I need to edit, and where to add/change codes and what html codes need to be altered etc? Also, a side question, I have been using blogger mainly for several years and recently changed to wordpress. Blogger is very easy to use, one can move around components and widgets and place them wherever one want on the screen etc as most of you probably know. Is this possible in Wordpress or is it all manually and very technical with html editing etc? It seems that the only thing I can do from my admin is put things on the sidebar to the right, and not put anything anywhere else? Thanks folks yer the greatest!
I think you should look around at the various themes and plug ins available for Wordpress. My Suggestion to you would be to just find another theme that is laid out the way you want and not to worry about trying to edit that one. It's very basic and not very appealing. You're on Worpdress now, there are literally thousands of available themes, both free and paid, for you to choose from.
Yeah well I will try to see, so far I didnt find, i did google around quite a bit. Not for themes though but for a solution to my question. And yes it is very basic, I might try some other themes and see if any of them get things up the way I want. If anyone else know the answers to my questionsin the meanwhile that would be great though
It is very hard to tell someone what code to put where on files that they don't have access to or even know what's in them I can tell you that you can find the basic layout structure in either index.php or some themes have a home.php. Your sidebar structure is going to be sidebar.php, if you are supposed to have more than one sidebar, you'll have to find which one, usually they are labeled. If you have any experience editing php you should be able to see what is going on right away. From here, it doesn't even appear that the theme has sidebars. Is that what is there now, a sidebar widget ? If so, you should place something in it, besides what's there so that we can see how it is laid out. Edited: Never mind, I found the issue...that theme does not have sidebars like other themes, therefore it cannot handle widgets. It must be a really old theme. You really can't find anything out there that you like besides that one?
