    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • One: either upload a wider image or tell us exactly what you want to replace it with. The normal image upload has a maximum size. If you want it to be wider than that you’ll need to do it all in CSS using the background-image attribute.

    Two: as it stands try the code below.

    #header {position:relative;}
    #pagenav {position:absolute; bottom:0;}

    Three: change the details to whatever you need.

    #pagenav a {font-family:courier; font-size:1.5em; color:#888;}

    Four: There are three different selectors, one for regular text, one for links and one for the titles. Experiment with the code below:

    #sidebar {font-family:tahoma; font-size:0.8em; color:#f00;}
    #sidebar a {}
    .widget h3 {}

    Five: again, change the widths to suit what you need. The maximum width is 940 pixels at the moment and there’s a 20px gap between the two columns:

    #main {width:720px;}
    #sidebar {width:200px;}
  • Wonderful! I deeply appreciate your time and directions.

  • As for question one (about the banner or top header) I would like simply to make an image in photoshop that would take the whole width of the site. I would also like to have control as to how to change the dimensions at will. When you say do it through the background image attribute, you mean I would need to make a background image and include the header as part of it? On its top?
