For those of you who know how to work with CSS

can you take a look at my writing journal and tell me why the side bar is stretching across the length of the entry? Or even better, how to fix it?

Hate to say so, but writing CSS is not really the most cut-and-clear thing in the world. So I can't really say why the sidebar is stretching all the way across without looking at the code and fiddling around with it.

My hunch is that the best way to handle it is like this: Give the sidebar a specific width (something like width:150px;). Then have the sidebar's position be relative and float it left. Then float the main entries left as well. But you may have to contain the main entries within a larger div that encompasses all the entries on the right hand side. And make sure you set clear:both on the div that defines the column on the right.

I hope this helps some.

i can email the code to you if you like. i'm just wary of actually posting it in my journal without permission, since it's someone else's, used with permission. I got it here . The only changes I've made to it was to upload the images to my own photobucket account and replace the links to reflect that.

Go ahead and email it to me, and I'll try to figure out a way to fix the problem.
