coding problems Options

[Mulder]

ok, so im trying to make a layout with a sidebar. but it looks like i cant do it with S2, and im having some problems doing it in S1.

but before i can even start on the sidebar, i have to position the entries. they're in the right place... but theres some problems.

and my codes are a mess cuz they're basically a mix of S2 css and S1 stuff.

so..

help?

edit// : it got really.... really screwed up.

Hmm. In IE it almost looks normal except that the comment links and entries sort of overlap. But in FF the content bar is way off to the left and you can only see part of the datestamp. Hmm. And by looking through the code I can't really tell what's wrong. I'll hafta mess around with it a little bit..

I'm not sure whether to start over with all S1 stuff or keep what you've got and try to fix it.. but give me a while and I'll try to figure out how to tell you what's wrong. =\
