    On my website here.

    I am looking to move the whole layout from the center of the page to the left of the page.

    I tried a couple things, but have not been successful. I have posted it in the theme forum and have not recieved any response.

    Is there anyone who would be able to take a look? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    From style.css, remove "text-align:center;" from the body {} rule and remove "margin:0 auto;" from the #page {} rule.

    Hmm did you try adding:

    float: left;

    to your body tag in the CSS?

    Or maybe do that^ as i am no wizard lol.

    Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa, you do NOT want to do that. Please know what you're doing before giving tips to someone else.

    Hi,

    In his first post, he stated he wants the whole layout moving to the left.

    I have just tested it on my wordpress blog, and it seems to have worked for me (check my signature (rentchallenge)).

    Thanks, Redman.

    His layout by default would have been left aligned had it not been for the margin:0 auto; on #page and body { text-align:center; } which center the layout (text-align:center; targets IE 5.5 and the wrapper text-align resets it). No need to float the body left. Just remove those declarations.
