several layout questions.

[oh_mumble]

I changed my journal around, but there's some bits I just can't seem to remember how to do. I've tried finding answers in the comm, but there are a few issues I am getting confused with. Help!

How do I get a diving line between the entries and the sidebar? Everything I've tried either does nothing, or makes the sidebar disappear completely.

Sorry for taking a while, but the multiple "how do I"s always take a while to write up.

Sidebar divider: There are two ways: One is to make a 190px-wide graphic with a border on the left and use it as #beta's background image; The other is to add a border to #beta. However, if you go this route, you have to reduce #alpha by a pixel to keep the sidebar from going to the bottom.
Remove this:
.layout-wt #content-inner { background-image: 1px dashed; }
Add this:
.layout-wt #alpha {width: 749px;}
#beta {border-left: 1px solid black;}

Nav links: This will make the current link normal:
#header .nav .current a {font-weight: normal;}
What do you want to change the font to, and just the top links, or all of them, including the title and subtitle?

Bottom margin:
#content {margin-bottom: 0}

The last two things are a theme layer change.

That's okay! Thank you so much for helping, I really appreciatr it!

That all works! The sidebar divider hangs down a little low, though, like an overhang? Is there a way to make it slightly shorter?

I just want to change the font to Ariel - the default font for the whole layout was, I think, Times Roman, and I managed to change everything but the top links.

Oh, so I need to make a layer for the last two bits? No problem!

Just FYI-- It's "Arial", not "Ariel". Spelling it wrong may or may not make a difference, since it'll fall back to "sans-serif". For some strange reason the theme stylesheet changes the header nav links separately, so this works:

#header .nav .item {font-family: Arial, sans-serif;}

Ah! It didn't make a difference, but thatnk you for pointing that out! I changed it anyway! And, that bit of code worked, thank you so much!!!!

Okay, I've set up a theme layer, but its currently blank as I don;t have anything yet to put in it - how do I sort those last two issues using layers?
