   I currently have a phone number on the top of my RHS widget bar...ok i guess.

   Ideally what i would like is to move it up a bit. In fact almost make it a right-aligned <h3> in the header just above the widget area.

   just tht that would make it look more like the domain's web site.

   is that possible? (i have the css upgrade)

   i have tried fiddling with a single PAGE as a horizontal menu but that seems to put it too far up fro mthe top of the widget area. Could a solution be to move this down? (although ideally i would like just a bit of text rather than a page)

   The blog I need help with is blog.kothea.com.

   To move a specific text widget (or any widget), first look in the html and get the specific identifier for the widget you want to move. It's #text-328648589 in your case. Then you can position it like this:

   #wrapper {
   position: relative;
   }
   #text-328648589 {
   position: absolute;
   top: 100px;
   right: 30px;
   }

   Note that if you change out the widget, you will also need to update the #text-328648589 selector in the CSS.

   We can use absolute positioning to move it up and into the header area. Add position: relative; to #wrapper in your CSS and then add the second bit to your CSS. You can adjust the top and right values as you desire.

   #wrapper {
   position: relative;
   }
   
   #text-328648589 {
   position: absolute;
   right: 30px;
   text-align: right;
   top: 98px;
   }

   To make the phone number h3, edit that text widget and put h3 tags around your number like this.

   <h3>+44 (0)20 8943 4904</h3>

   Thanks. Last night I actually slept. That is a good sign. This morning the birds are singing.

   blimey!

   so widgets don't have to be in the widget bar.

   that's opened up a whole can of css worms.

   thanks guys.
