Hi! I'm sort of new at all this CSS and I've got the feeling I'm getting in a bit too deep with what I want to do... but I'm hoping someone here can help me!

I've been changing around some of the design and finding it difficult to

According to the layout maker, that blank area is for the blurb, and I think you can put html there.

When I allow the blurb it does not show up in that space. It ends up going below the link list, in a small white strip, and i can't figure out how to fix it. This is the sidebar code:

#sidebar {background: #505050; padding: 10px 0 10px 0; min-height: 100px; }

#sidebar div, .sbartitle {display: none; }
#sidebar .sbarbody2, #sidebar #sidebar_linklist {display: block;}

.sbarlist {padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; margin: 0; width: 100px; }
.sbarlist li {list-style: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted #333333; }
.sbarlist li a {font: 9px arial; display: block; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; color: #aaaaaa;}
.sbarlist li a:hover {color: #dddddd;}

.sbarbody2 {float: right; width: 700px; padding: 0 10px 0 0; font: 13px georgia; color: #aaaaaa; line-height: 150%;}

and I have changed it now so that you can see what I'm talking about if you click on my journal. I don't necessarily need to have pictures there if that won't work... I'd just like to fill it with something... :) Thanks for the response!!

I've tested the layout with the original code and your code in another journal and it works fine. All I can think of is that you haven't followed the layout instructions exactly right. Go back to where you got the layout and follow the steps again for the journal customization with your CSS.

I'm sorry to be such a pain :(

I have started from scratch and followed the directions exactly - and it's still doing it. :( I have not adjusted the creator's code at all this time, not even to add my own header or the background image. Could it be my LJ nav strip at the top creating it? I even tried viewing it in both firefox and chrome thinking it was a browser issue.

Again thanks for your response! I appreciate the help.
