I'll work on this for you a little later today.

Thanks for your help so far ! I can see the space has narrowed from your previous bit of CSS - If you think it'd be better to adjust quite a few things and you have the time to help I'd be very grateful !

Modify the padding declarations in the following two bits in your CSS to look like what I have below. This isn't optimum, but it is better.

.two-column #primary, .two-column #secondary {
float: right;
padding: 0 40px 0 0;
width: 16%;
}

.two-column #content {
padding: 0 30px 0 50px;
width: 66%;
}

Because you went to a narrower content width, we really should go back in and adjust a bunch of things and make the entire site narrower. Do you want to do that? It will be a probably several hours before I can get to that as I'm waiting on a conference call to start that will likely create several hours of rush work for me. Post back here and let me know.

That works !!! Now my pictures and text are aligned as I wish ... but ... I've got an awfully big gap between my content and side bar ? Is there anyway to increase the white areas to the left of my content/right of my side bar and decrease the space between them both ?

Sorry for all the newbie questions ... I figure it is to do with padding perhaps ?

Give this a try.

.two-column #content {
width: 66%;
}

I see you are using coraline and it does that if the browser window gets too narrow.

Most likely you have a long way to go to catch me on forgetting links. :-)

Your sidebar is down at the bottom of your posts because there is no room for it beside your images and content. Did you want it up where it should be, beside the content?

Hi everyone,

I've recently redone my blog layout and it's exactly how I want it to look . My problem comes with the fact that I've decided to resize my pictures to make them a little smaller. As you can see in the below post. The post text runs outwith the alignment of the pictures.

Is there anything I can do in CSS to make sure the text is contained in the same width as the pictures ?
