    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to do a little css-bending which I'm sure some of you could do easily in their sleep. This is the wordpress website I'm editing:

    http://slices-of-life.com

    Basically what I want to do is set up a static div (??) in the blank space to the right. I want that space to be neatly occupied by a logo plus that 3d tag cloud you can see on the button. I would like these elements to remain static as users scroll up and down across the blog. Would you say that's possible?

    Here's the stylesheet.css I'm trying to edit :

    http://slices-of-life.com/DOCS/stylesheet_bkp.css

    If someone can help or point me in the right direction, you'll totally make my day! :)

    All the best,
    P.

    You need to edit more then just the css for doing that. If you give me a pm, I could walk you through it

    Hi Smitten. It sounds to me like you'll also need to edit some other files in your theme folder. It sounds like this would be in your header.php file. Try finding where the existing tag cloud is (It may well be a widget, in which case you'd have to make a custom widget area). Then you can simply drag and drop the widget into your new widget area.

    To be honest, it sounds like you may need to read some tutorials on making wordpress themes, even just to familiarise yourself with the way it works. Try this site - http://net.tutsplus.com/

    pmek: thanks for the references. I actually prefer learning how it's done than just bumming for a quick fix from a php programmer, so that's perfect! :)
