when I'm trying to create a menu there aren't any pages showing up for me to include!

A page won't be available in Appearance > Menus if it's a draft or if it's private: it has to be published and public. If you're working on the site, make the site private (in Settings > Reading), not the pages.

If you are not successful when searching there is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum for your theme under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard, but do note that the premium theme must be active and you must be signed in as the user who purchased it in order to see it and post to it.

So far:
I figured out how to insert blog title.
I inserted an uploaded image, sized it and left justified it

Problem: how do I enter text to the right of the image. Could I create a textbox to be filled with text? I'm familiar with Publisher and thought that creating a blog would be a similar process.

Secondly, I'm not seeing the purpose of purchasing a premium blog because there seems to be no preset content that can be modified.

Advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

#content {
	background: #fff;
}
.sticky {
	background: #eee;
}

Note that I made the ".sticky" ones light gray to make them stand out. If you don't use sticky posts, you probably don't need that rule.

You will also probably want to adjust the colors a little more. Try doing that with the color palette options on your Appearance → Custom Design → Colors page. See this help page to learn how the color palettes work: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-colors/

Thanks alot!

<div style="font-size:110%;"><p style="color:#777;margin-top:8px;">Keep up to date with my blog and posts by subscribing via:</p>
ETC ETC
</div>

I insertws a text box widget into the sidebar. I labelled it 'Subscribe' and started playing around with changing the font by inserting HTML into the widget text box.

I was wondering, how can I increase the space between the line below 'Subscribe' and the text in my widget (just like how all my other widgets look like)?

Here is a bit of the HTML I pasted into the text box widget:

<div style="font-size:110%;"><font color="#777"><p>Keep up to date with my blog and posts by subscribing via:</p></font>

</div>

Thanks!

I am writing a page for a blog and would like to add a text box in the body of the page to present some technical information in a little off-set area. I'd like to have it visually separated from the rest of my text with a coloured background, and to allow the main text of my blog to flow around it.

An example of what I want: the Contents box on http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

I have not upgraded from the free version, and I am using the twentyten theme. Is it possible to get this effect, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

How would I do that in my post?

Any help would be great!
