    I'm using Wordpress 3.5 and customizing my theme. I'd like to get a basic code to add so my sidebar appears on left instead of right. I want to add it by going into APPEARANCE>EDITOR and then what would you have that I could add at the very bottom? Feedback appreciated..........

    Thank you Acquifolio....VERY simple indeed. However, see screenshot....when I clicked UPDATE FILE, the sidebar is still on right side of page. See on the temporary domain link I am using: http://64.141.114.112/~dinrock so I am wondering what I may be doing wrong.....your code was placed at VERY bottom of style.css page

    Once I clear this up, yes....I will definitely share your instructions....wonderfiul info!

    Hi Acquifolio....great help, I did appreciate it. However, if you see attached screenshot, I did add the updated code to include new line at top....if you click the link to my temp. domain URL: http://64.141.114.112/~dinrock/ it just won't budge....very stubborn! I have over 5200 connections on my FaceBook alone + alot on Twitter. I hope to recommend you. If you see something out of place in that style.css do let me know but I pasted what was required and it just did not want to move.

    I see from your screenshot you need to edit this file via ftp
    STYLES/STYLE.CSS

    it wasnt a twenty twelve theme change, the fix in my video is for that theme :)
    Because you are using photocrati it was a change with in a styling file called dynamic-style.php
    ive made the change for you
